    Did you know the youth homeless population is the fastest growing in the nation?…read more As a masters candidate at UNR, Lynette Eddy did, and she saw a need to get ahead of it in our community, starting the Eddy House to help, and today this is one of the most successful in the nation! I had the opportunity to work for the first version of this NPO near the beginning, when they owned a home in NW Reno that provided a safe place for 5-8 young men to live and owned a restaurant in downtown Reno as a work experience for them. I knew the organization was vital then, but it just wasn't the right format for them to deliver their maximum impact. Over the years they learned a lot, and under the leadership of some extremely astute folks, they've grown into the vital community organization I always knew them to be. Starting with the YOU, they helped homeless youth find purpose and footing, access to necessary resources and opportunities to learn academically and about themselves with the support of some great local partners. In the last year they realized their dream of opening a 24 hour drop in center for youth, something so incredibly needed by our community, and they continue to advance their mission from there. Now they need our support more than ever. If you can, consider sharing something with them so they can continue to serve the community.

    I called before I went because many of the local charities ask you to make an appointment. They are…read morealso only taking certain items. I've donated here before so am familiar with how they handle security. They do a great job. Thanks for your good work and for the care and concern for everyone.

    Renown Health and the Desert Research Institute (DRI) are offering an additional 40,000 Nevadans…read morethe opportunity to have their DNA sequenced and participate in the next phase of the study which opened for enrollment on March 15th, 2018. My son's father and I decided to sign up for phase 2 which was super easy on the internet (HealthyNV.org) I signed up, got my appointment and went down to the HealthyNV building located on Kuenzli. First you watch an introductory video that explains what to expect. Station 2 is where you sign into your accounts, or create one if you don't have it. They collect a saliva specimen which is done discreetly. Seal it up, drop it off in the box and you're done. I have done a similiar test like this on Ancestry so I already know my native make up. I am interested in what health risks I have, how that can be exaccerbated or not, living in Northern NV and what preventative measures I can take. This is the most comprehensive population health study I have ever seen and I am happy to be participating in it.

Willing participants provide a saliva sample so that genetics from the Northern Nevada are can be included in the research from doctors as well as environmental studies. The goal is to achieve a healthier community through knowledge. The 30 minute appointment was a piece of cake! It started promptly with a quick informational video explaining the project and the process to submit your saliva sample. Station 2 is at a laptop computer so that you can electronically sign consent forms and register the barcode on your sample tube with Helix. Next station, a private seat so that you can provide a sample of your saliva. Noninvasive and fun! The office space is colorful, bright, and modern. As a thank you for voluntarily providing genetic makeup for the research, you receive a complementary ancestry report from Helix called National Geographic Geno 2.0. Is highly recommend anyone interested in helping local medical research progress or anyone who just wants a free ancestry report to signup for a time slot to participate in HealthyNV!
