About Center for Community Solutions
Dr. McKay envisioned a healthier community for Nevada's children and his own — a mission that was put into overdrive after a life-changing journey through cancer treatment. His experience inspired him to impact his community as meaningfully as those who had developed his cancer treatments. His encounter with cancer was a reminder that both cancer and mental health can be matters of life and death.
OUR VISION
Nevada has been ranked last nationally in mental health since 2011, which causes over 200 families to seek psychiatric services out of state each month. CCS will open Nevada’s first and only non-profit psychiatric facility for kids to deliver cutting-edge services right here in Las Vegas. We’re committed to filling the gaps of existing service lines and researching new solutions to Nevada-specific challenges. We're committed to developing our mental health workforce while expanding the availability of critical psychiatric services, which will inspire the best and brightest to be a part of our solutions.
The CCS team boasts tremendous experience growing and operating organizations that deliver psychiatric services, but our lofty mission calls for more. Thus, our team is welcoming involvement from people with knowledge and experience in the following:
- blending public, private, and grant funding and financing for healthcare
- community outreach, fundraising, and philanthropy
- navigating the legal and regulatory landscape of nonprofit psychiatric facilities at the local, state, and federal levels
- acquisition, maintenance, and growth of the physical facilities for healthcare
- credentialing, contracting, and billing for psychiatric services across various facility types and payer sources
- government relations on matters pertaining to youth services
We welcome key community stakeholders to have a voice in coalescing the team, prioritizing services, and influencing the strategic initiatives necessary to carry out our mission.
