#snhd Board member and City of Las Vegas Councilman Brian Knudsen knows now is the time for flu vaccination! It’s always best to get vaccinated before flu viruses start to spread but you can get the vaccine anytime during the season. Stop by one of our clinics or one of the many convenient locations throughout the valley. And check out our story to see Councilman Knudsen and his daughter demonstrating how easy it can be to help ensure you and your family have a healthier flu and holiday season!

Last night, our inaugural Health District After Dark event addressed the topics of #CBD and #cannabis use. Created by our Academic Affairs Committee, Health District After Dark is a lecture series designed to engage and educate the Southern Nevada community on a variety of provocative public health topics and to be a starting point for ongoing discussion about these topics. Our featured speakers were Kristine Vasilevky ("CBC from a Regulatory Perspective"), Jennifer Sanders ("Responsible CBD and Cannabis Use"), and Shoshanna Silverberg ("Demystifying the Status of CBD"). Dr. David Orentlicher moderated the discussion. Keep an eye on Health District social media channels for dates of upcoming HDAD events. #healthylv #healthysouthernnevada #publichealth
