Since 1997, HOPES has been on the front lines of community health, caring for those with the fewest resources and options, many of whom are living in crisis every day. We tackle our community’s hard problems with resolve and compassion — from chronic disease to addiction. From our early days as a single-room HIV/AIDS clinic to the multi-facility community health resource center we are today, HOPES continues to serve northern Nevada’s vulnerable, overlooked, and underserved. While patients typically come to HOPES seeking medical care, our team works closely with on-site case managers to meet all patients’ wellness needs, connecting them with meals, clothing, shelter, mental health care, addiction recovery support, and other vital services.
