About
The HEALS Foundation
Southern Nevada faces a critical healthcare workforce shortage, compounded by rapid regional growth. The HEALS Foundation addresses this challenge by creating an ecosystem that spans the entire healthcare talent pipeline, from early education to physician retention.
We collaborate with healthcare providers, educators, business leaders, and students to build sustainable pathways for future healthcare professionals. This is essential to the future of healthcare in Nevada.
