Mission
Statement
The State Board
of Health shares a vision and commitment to assuring that
all Nevada residents have the highest attainable level of
individual and community health. Chapter 439.150(1) of the
Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) states, "The state board of
health is hereby declared to be supreme in all
non-administrative health matters. It has general
supervision over all matters... relating to the preservation
of the health and lives of citizens of the state..." The
Board is dedicated to insuring that both residents and
visitors to our state can be active in an environment where
good sanitation is practiced and there is a minimum risk of
contracting disease or experiencing disabling unintentional
injury. |
