The Southern Nevada Health District stands as one of the largest local public health organizations in the United States. It serves more than 2.3 million residents, accounting for 72 percent of Nevada’s total population, and is also tasked with safeguarding the health of over 40 million visitors to Las Vegas annually.

The budget is developed annually to meet the needs and goals of SNHD and the community it serves. It also functions as a management tool to measure actual performance against budget standards. The budget cycle involves all divisions and departments to analyze their fiscal year-todate revenues and expenses, as well as to make any necessary recommendations or adjustments. As part of Clark County’s budget, SNHD’s deadlines for tentative and adopted budgets are typically completed before April 1st each year.
