Nevada is suffering a significant shortage of health care professionals and has poor health indicators These are the results of the inability of the state to keep up with the fast growth in population of the past 20 years The solutions of these problems are complex (and are made more difficult by the current financial situation) and require a multi-strategy approach that will require investment from the state, from the private sector, and establishment of public and private partnerships
