To enhance access to healthcare, we provide Charity Care through our Financial Assistance policy, cover the unpaid costs of Medicaid, Medicare, and SCHIP programs, and provide free and reduced-cost care to uninsured and underinsured community members. We want everyone in our community to have access to the healthcare they deserve, even if they do not have the means to pay for it.

Community Health Improvement, Support Services, Education, and Partnerships

With community members as our stakeholders, we carefully steward our resources towards community initiatives and healthcare advancements that we know will have the biggest impact on our region’s most pressing needs. Those needs are abundant but so, too, are the number of people and organizations providing expertise, assistance, and innovative solutions. We know that the beautiful, healthy future we envision for our community will only be achieved when we partner with like-minded organizations to coordinate our efforts and share resources with the same community benefit in mind.

In 2020, Carson Tahoe welcomed 587 students, providing valuable training across multiple departments. The students, who hail from both Nevada and other states throughout the country, were given the opportunity to observe, support, and learn from our staff. All told, 35,220 staff hours were spent training these healthcare leaders of the future.
