“Puentes mission is to be an innovator in the development of comprehensive, collaborative and culturally relativistic initiatives that seek to provide permanent, sustainable solutions through addressing root causes, disparities and inequities in our social order.”

“Covid-19 response: the covid-19 patient support center was developed to facilitate, to the greatest extent, the quarantine that covid -19 positive, presumptive positive and other immunocompromised patients were asked to maintain. We provided navigation and case management, delivered free food, cleaning and medical supplies, as well as, in partnership with the unlv school of medicine, provided ongoing medical wellness checks to monitor the health and establish what resources patients and other family members in the home required to maintain in their homes, preventing the need for these patients to venture out and hence help reduce community spread. During the period from april to december of 2020, the patient support center provided over 279,000 meals, medical assistance and support services to families in need during the covid-19 crisis.”

“Puentes conducted outreach in socially vulnerable southern nevada locations while collaborating with other organizations to develop client awareness and accessibility to covid-19 testing, and thus improve vaccination rates through dissemination of information. Additionally, static and mobile resource fairs were operated to connect clients to covid-19 education, testing and vaccination as well as information and community resources related to many other determinants of health including rent and utility assistance, food support, and medical and/or mental healthcare.”

“Resource fairs: resource fairs follow an holistic approach that provides food and medical support, covid-19 testing, vaccinations and a multitude of other essential support services. They are held in under-served communities, with a focus on the 89110 zip code which consistently had the highest case counts throughout the pandemic. Overall, in 2020 thousands of families received food and other support through monthly resource fairs.”
