Compassionate Care for all
Northern Nevada HOPES (HOPES) provides great healthcare in a safe and accepting place. If you want to be treated with respect and dignity, HOPES is for you. If you want to feel seen and understood, HOPES is for you.
how to become a patient
To schedule your first appointment, call 775-786-4673, Monday–Friday, 8am-5pm, and ask to schedule a “new patient appointment.” An Intake & Eligibility Specialist will take your information and partner with you to schedule your first appointment.
paying for care
HOPES takes most insurance plans, Medicaid, and Medicare. HOPES also cares for uninsured patients. If you don’t have insurance, we use a sliding fee scale which adjusts cost based on what you can afford to pay. Our Intake and Eligibility team meets with all new patients to make sure they can get the care they need.

Insurance Card
If you have an insurance card, please bring it. If you don’t have insurance, still come in and we can help you get seen.
A list of the medications you are currently taking
If it’s easier, you can bring the bottles in.
