	Challenge: Provide relief and assistance for uninsured Nevadans. Objectives: Implement discounted medical services for uninsured cash payers. Provide means for uninsured to track their family’s health using electronic health records. Establish tools that can help those with chronic conditions manage their health more effectively. Process: Community connections provide Internet access to those families without home access to www.myhealthnv.com; this site provides free access to WorldDoc tools, a diabetes program, and establishes discounted health services in collaboration with a number of community providers. Lesson: Building trust with people in disadvantage takes persistence, patience and culturally appropriate methods and language; collaboration only adds strength and value to the mix.

	Overview: 25% of Nevada residents don’t have health insurance, and the number of uninsured households is rising. The Foundation developed a community portal where uninsured families get free access to health information and resources, have an electronic personal health record and can obtain discounted health services. Uninsured families are using My Health Nevada to receive discounts averaging 26% on prescription medications and special discounts for dental and lab procedures. Families are saving thousands of dollars monthly and not putting off vital medical treatments.
