Nevada Gets $226K Grant For Rural Telemedicine Equipment

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada is getting a quarter of a million dollars for telemedicine equipment in Elko and Lyon counties.

U.S. Sen. Jacky Rosen's office announced the $226,000 grant Tuesday. The grant comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's distance learning and telemedicine program.

The Democrat's office says the money will pay for video-interactive equipment that will help with treatment for opioid abuse.

How is Las Vegas' healthcare system really doing, and what does it mean for you and your family? Desert Companion's Health Issue takes a deep dive into these questions and explores how heart-centered business leaders prove that doing good benefits the bottom line.
