 Demographics, economic structure, and social characteristics of rural and frontier Nevada produce challenges in health care priorities, access to care and timeliness.  Rural and frontier communities incur barriers to healthcare access including: limited or no available resources, a shortage in qualified and license providers, no availability or primary or specialty care, lower rates of health care coverage, long distance travel for care or inadequate public transportation.  For many communities, CHS clinics are the only means to access healthcare and meet their needs.
