(LAS VEGAS, Nev.)—Regardless of whether you’re a patient looking for care or a nurse or case manager seeking out resources to help patients, navigating the healthcare system is complicated. But for those living in Southern Nevada, finding what you need just became easier with VegasHealthCare.com.
The site officially launched in October by VegasHealthCare Group, a local entity headed by Las Vegas native, Diego Trujillo. Trujillo started the company in 2016 with the goal of bringing fresh perspectives on how Nevadans can find what they really need in the local healthcare system.
“We like to say we are the lubricant within the healthcare machine,” Trujillo said. “Our vision is to bring healthcare information to the Las Vegas community. As a “one stop location for all things medical” the site provides better understanding of the healthcare, plus information and resources.”
With VegasHealthCare.com, if you’re a patient looking for Southern Nevada providers, the easy-to-navigate directory can help you find one. If you’re a healthcare worker needing equipment and supplies for patients, the site can point you towards them. It can help you compare insurance options, find legal resources, seek out professional training for workers, and even locate behavioral and complementary medicine options for patients, and a lot more. Some of the main page directory categories include:
· Navigating Health Insurance
· Doctors
· Dentists
· Community Resources
· Hospitals & Surgery Centers
· Schools & Professional Training
· Imaging & Labs
· Transportation Equipment & Supplies
Trujillo is also the CEO of Las Vegas HEALS, a nonprofit coalition of medical professionals dedicated to improving access to care. Personal experience also influenced his decision to launch the site.
“I was born in Las Vegas, have gone through the local medical system, worked in hospice, and when I needed to help my father on his health journey, I still struggled,” he said. “I couldn’t imagine what this was like for others who knew less than I did.”
The next goal is to integrate more videos and written content from local healthcare professionals, Trujillo added. Those expert voices can help to answer common questions and fill in information gaps on health topics and system navigation.
“We’re really committed to expanding the educational content for every category we have,” he added. “We want to be an even stronger resource to Southern Nevadans. It’s also an opportunity to showcase the thriving healthcare community here in Las Vegas. We have remarkable professionals and we all benefit from more connection and support for one another.”
