Southern Nevada Health District

The Southern Nevada Health District wants proposals for COVID-19 outreach, education and coordination of testing to underserved, higher risk and disproportionately affected populations.

One of the largest public health organizations in the US, the District serves more than 2.2M people and 42M annual visitors to Las Vegas.

The District wants a partner to train trusted community-level spokespersons (e.g., teachers, community health workers, faith leaders, radio DJs, local shop owners, barbers) to communicate the burdens of influenza and COVID-19 and promote vaccination through local media outlets, social media, faith-based venues, communications events and other culturally appropriate venues.

The campaign will connect vaccination providers with recreational centers, places of worship, food banks, pantries, colleges/universities, grocery stores, salons/barber shops, major employers, elder housing facilities and other community institutions to set up temporary or mobile vaccination sites.

The District requires prospective partners to have experience in outreach to members of the Black, Hispanic, Asian-American, Pacific Islander, Native American and rural communities.

Faith- and community-based organizations are encouraged to submit bids.

Proposals are due July 27. Send a PDF with the subject “SNHD-21RFP005 COVID-19 OUtreach and Education" to [email protected]
