Established in 2009, the Center for Sustainable Healthcare on the campus of the University of Nevada, Reno,  has brought together industry and sector leaders to share ideas and awareness of innovative, coordinated health-care solutions, including access networks and programs, care and delivery systems, and research and development projects. The Center collects and disseminates reports and information concerning healthcare innovations, and it offers professional evaluations and recommendations through ongoing dialogue. 

 

The principle that drives the Center for Sustainable Healthcare says that health-care sustainability depends upon collaboration among public, private and non-profit entities to develop and promote programs that facilitate a culture of health, in reducing associated costs and risks, both economically and socially.  In our evolving healthcare environment, it is critically important for employers and payers to engage consumer/patient based strategies and solutions that can organically evolve, to resolve gaps in clinical access, coordination, finance and outreach, while promoting wellness and prevention, in reducing related risk.
