Nevada Urban Indians and the Washoe County Health District teamed up on Saturday to host a Health Fair and Pow Wow.
The Heath Care and Pow Wow was held at Galena High School and included food, craft and health fair vendors as well as a Royalty and Drum contest.
“We are grateful to continue to work with our community partners to make COVID-19 vaccines accessible to all by meeting people where they are,” said District Health Officer Kevin Dick. “We thank the Nevada Urban Indians for putting together a great event that connects our community members with health resources while also sharing and preserving their traditions with attendees.”
“Nevada Urban Indians, Inc.
