In November of 2021, Select Health Insurance started sending out letters to covered members that will limit access to important medication for the treatment of HIV. This policy is only impacting members in Nevada. They intentionally did not include their members in Utah and Idaho. This policy is a clear example of institutional racism, which is a term that refers to a form of racism that is embedded in the laws and regulations of a society or an organization. It manifests as discrimination in areas such as criminal justice, employment, housing, health care, education, and political representation. Nevada has the 5th highest rate of new HIV infections in the US. We cannot stand by and let one profit hungry entity put the lives of any Nevadans at risk. Help send a message to Select Health that EVERY Nevadan is important, and to follow their own value statement which is publicly displaced on their website. In remember of the 40+ years we've been fighting HIV and its associated stigma, lets send a clear message that Nevada does not tolerate discrimination by asking the Nevada Insurance Commission to revoke the license to sell insurance in Nevada for all Select Health Products
A new generation of sexually active young people has not been exposed to the intense condom promotion that was in place a decade ago. Condom use at last higher risk sex reported by young women (aged 15 to 24 years) declined in five countries in western and central Africa and three countries in eastern and southern Africa. Condom use at higher risk sex among men (aged 15 to 49 years) also declined in five out of nine countries (compared to the previous survey). The use of condoms across all of western and central Africa and eastern and southern Africa remains far too low.

Our program is in need of financial support to continue providing medical and dental care to underserved and at-risk teens.
The mission of The Huntridge Teen Clinic is to provide medical and dental care and counseling to uninsured, underserved and at-risk teenagers age 12-18 who are ineligible or unable to obtain care otherwise.
Medical and dental care is not seasonal, which is why we need medical and dental volunteer providers year-round. If you are a physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, dentist, dental assistant or dental hygienist, please consider working an afternoon in one of our clinics. You'll see first-hand the good work we do for the youth of our community and we promise: You'll feel really good about yourself!

NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES
The teenage years are the most memorable years of our lives but they can also be the most stressful. For teens from families in medically underserved areas with meager financial resources and no insurance, the stress is often compounded by untreated medical and dental needs, and a lack of credible information. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has consistently reported that medical issues are among the leading reasons why kids fall behind in school, and ultimately
drop out. Specifically mentioned are untreated medical needs, chronic dental pain and unwanted teen pregnancy.The staff and Board of Trustees of The Huntridge Teen Clinic are determined to help the underprivileged youth of our community as they grapple with these adult issues. Our goal is to remove medical impediments and help ensure these kids get an equal shot at academic and career success.
HISTORY OF THE HUNTRIDGE TEEN CLINIC
The Huntridge Teen Clinic is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation established in 1994 initially as a medical clinic. The dental clinic was added in 1998. Since our founding twenty years ago, we have provided medical and dental care and counseling to thousands of underprivileged and at-risk teens. These are kids from families with meager financial resources, no insurance and few options. Some are homeless. The Huntridge Teen Clinic represents, in most cases, their only hope for the basic medical and dental care and counseling that most people take for granted
