Find a Provider

Community Health Centers (CHCs) are non-profit, community-based, and patient-directed organizations that deliver comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary health care services. CHCs also often integrate access to pharmacy, mental health, substance use disorder, and oral health services in areas where economic, geographic, or cultural barriers limit access to affordable health care services.
The Nevada Primary Care Association is the federally designated association for Nevada and has a complete list of all Community Health Centers in Nevada.

Finding a pediatrician or pediatric specialist for your child can be difficult and confusing. There are several ways to find a pediatrician for your child. First, if you have health insurance, you can usually search for providers through your plan’s website or call your health insurance company to get a list of participating providers. Check your insurance card for the member website or phone number. Second, ask around for referrals. Talk to your friends, family, co-workers or others with children to see what pediatricians they use and if they would recommend them. 

The American Association of Pediatrics (AAP) also has an online tool for finding a pediatrician or pediatric specialist through their website, HealthyChildren.org. The AAP recommends choosing a pediatrician with the initials “FAAP” after their name, indicating that they are a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

These doctors specialize in women’s reproductive health, pregnancy and childbirth. “OB”, which is short for “obstetrics” indicates a doctor who sees patients during pregnancy and childbirth. “GYN”, which is short for “gynecology” indicates a doctor who specializes in female reproductive care. There are also many doctors who are OB/GYN specialists, with focus on specific health issues such as cancer, high-risk pregnancy, pelvic and reproductive surgery, family planning, and infertility. 

To find an OB/GYN, contact your insurance provider for a list of providers on your plan that are accepting new patients. You can also request doctors based on language preferences, location, and gender to meet your specific needs. If you are looking for a provider for pregnancy and childbirth, you may also consider looking for a doula or midwife (see below).

A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, informational, and physical supportive services to individuals for health-related experiences such as childbirth, miscarriage, induced abortion or stillbirth, as well as some non-reproductive experiences. The DOULA CO-OP of Nevada serves as a vital link between Doulas & underserved families navigating pregnancy.

A midwife is a healthcare provider who specializes in the normal processes of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. They are trained to provide personalized, respectful care for each client, and often support natural approaches to pregnancy and birth. Midwives are registered nurses who have taken additional midwifery training. They work in many settings, including public hospitals, birth centers, and private clinics.

Some insurance plans in Nevada cover midwife care, including Medicaid, however it is important to check with your health insurance provider to see what is covered on your specific plan and to ask midwives which, if any, insurance they may accept.

There is currently no centralized directory for finding a midwife in Nevada. To search for a midwife provider, you can check with your insurance company, ask for referrals from friends and family, or conduct an online search for midwives in your area. It is recommended that you meet with several potential providers to find a midwife that meets your specific needs.
