WEBINAR: What's SB330 and how does it impact breast screening & diagnostics in Nevada?
Access to breast cancer screening and diagnostics in Nevada will increase starting January 1, 2024, thanks to the passage of Nevada's Senate Bill 330 during this year's legislative session. Join us for a 30-minute virtual lunch & learn to get more information on how the new law affects you and your patients.
We invite anyone to attend, including administrators, physicians, nurses, imaging specialists, billing staff, advocates, and community members.
Join the Sun Smart Nevada Town Hall
In the eight years since the launch of Sun Smart Nevada we’ve done a lot! We launched a program in the schools to educate Nevada’s youth and expanded it to every district in the state. We’ve inspired partners who’ve taken up the cause and installed sunscreen dispensers throughout their communities. And we’ve partnered with medical school students and dermatologists to host skin check clinics in multiple communities.
Now, it’s time for us to stop, reflect, and plan for the future!
