On May 27, 2026, local TV station, KOLOTV, featured StreetReach in a piece about mobile healthcare in Reno.
The background: UNR is bringing healthcare directly to those who need it most through a new agreement with Washoe County finalized in April 2026. Led by the Orvis School of Nursing, UNR has taken ownership of a mobile health outreach vehicle — originally purchased with American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds — to expand community-based care across the region.
The vehicle will power the StreetReach program, providing low-barrier, nurse-led healthcare to individuals who are unsheltered, intermittently housed, or connected to street-based communities — meeting people where they are, not where the system expects them to be.
Services include wound care, bloodborne virus testing, and connections to ongoing healthcare and social support resources.
Watch the full video report to learn more about how this initiative is changing lives in the Washoe County community — and find out how you can support the StreetReach program.
