DHS Boards and Commissions

Nevada DHS Director Richard Whitley is committed to building an efficient and responsive public health system. The Director believes that all citizens should have direct access to their health system and have the right to help shape public policy. The Director has the privilege and authority to confirm or appoint members to numerous boards and commissions. Most boards and commissions are created by federal law, state legislation, or executive order of the Governor. Each state board has a different role and membership requirements. The membership is outlined in the enabling document and is usually narrowly defined, often including requirements for political or geographic diversity.
