From its origins serving the Latino community, Puentes has quickly broadened to embrace all under-resourced/under-represented populations. Its core programs are centered on Health and Wellness, Education, Employment and Advocacy, delivered through professionals, counselors and volunteers from within the organization as well as from more than 40 Community Partners.
As it continues to gain expertise and momentum, Puentes has evolved from simply assisting in the delivery of existing social services to becoming an innovator in the development of comprehensive, collaborative and culturally competent health and wellness solutions.
Most recently, Puentes has partnered with the COVID-19 Task Force of the Nevada Hispanic Legislative Caucus in the development and operation of the COVID-19 Patient Support Center.
