SALUD Y BIENESTAR
Las comunidades saludables crean una economía saludable y familias autosuficientes. Sin embargo, cuando es difícil encontrar atención médica de calidad y la cobertura necesaria sigue siendo inasequible, afecta los resultados de salud y la salud y la economía general del individuo, la familia y la comunidad.
Los datos de salud revelan tendencias emergentes y áreas que necesitan nuevas políticas o sistemas para que los ciudadanos puedan vivir vidas más largas y saludables, aumentando la productividad y la prosperidad económica.

DIGGING INTO THE DATA
The data used to assess Health & Wellness as a component of quality of life covers a range of health indicators, including disease prevalence, mortality rates, and healthcare access. It also considers factors like income, education, and housing that can impact health outcomes. On top of that, it includes behavioral data related to health habits, substance use, and mental health, as well as demographic breakdowns to highlight health disparities among different groups. Additionally, it looks at mortality rates for various causes and age groups and tracks trends over time.This data gives us a comprehensive look at health trends and outcomes in the region, showing both positive trends and areas that need attention and intervention. By analyzing this data, we can identify priorities, develop targeted interventions, and work toward improving community residents' overall quality of life and well-being.
DATA BITES
More than 150 health and wellness-related indicators are available on NevadaTomorrow.com. These indicators address various themes and are measured by various factors, including the trend over time in Washoe County.

SEGURO DE SALUD
La cobertura del seguro de salud se considera uno de los mejores indicadores de acceso a la atención médica. La atención médica para las personas sin seguro es una preocupación de toda la comunidad. De especial interés es el hecho de que existe una inequidad racial significativa en torno al acceso a la atención médica y las tasas de asegurados.
Los costos médicos en los Estados Unidos son extremadamente altos, por lo que es posible que las personas sin seguro médico no puedan pagar el tratamiento médico o los medicamentos recetados. También es menos probable que se hagan chequeos y exámenes de rutina, por lo que si se enferman, no buscarán tratamiento hasta que la afección esté más avanzada y, por lo tanto, sea más difícil y costoso de tratar. Muchas pequeñas empresas no pueden ofrecer seguro médico a los empleados debido al aumento de las primas de seguro médico.
El objetivo nacional de salud "Gente sana 2020" del Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de EE. UU. es reducir la proporción de personas sin seguro médico al 0%.

DESTACADO DE LA COMUNIDAD
Innovando para mejorar la salud
Salud de renombreestá comprometida con la detección temprana de riesgos para la salud. losProyecto Nevada Saludable, uno de los estudios de salud de la población más grandes del mundo, combina datos genéticos, clínicos y ambientales para brindar información de salud personalizada a los nevadenses sin costo alguno.
El Proyecto Nevada Saludable tiene más de 55,000 participantes hasta la fecha. Capturar a los participantes con hallazgos tempranos es crucial para que el tratamiento pueda comenzar. El acceso a los participantes se ha ampliado a aquellos en el norte, sur y zonas rurales de Nevada.
El Proyecto Healthy Nevada integra la genómica en el plan de atención clínica de un paciente. Con esta información genética, Renown tendrá la capacidad de comprender mejor cómo los genes de una persona afectan la forma en que responde a un medicamento y ofrecer una receta específica más precisa para cada persona. La comunicación efectiva sobre la importancia de la evaluación genética para la comunidad ha sido un obstáculo.
La investigación de este programa ayuda a allanar el camino para las comunidades de todo el estado al utilizar los datos del proyecto para ayudar a los investigadores a avanzar en el conocimiento y la comprensión de las enfermedades genéticas.
