The year 2023 was a banner year for Vegas Stronger. From 2022, our total number of admissions increased from 384 to 700 (82%), and our total number of unique admissions increased from 350 to 635 (81%).
To accommodate this increased demand, Vegas Stronger added twenty new employees during the year. We also were rewarded four new government grants and renewed three others from previous years, totaling $1,550,919 received. One of these new grants is for Rural Opioid Response, allowing us to open a new location in Pahrump to serve the citizens of Nye County.
To increase counseling throughout the city, we acquired Neubauer Mental Health Services on June 1, 2023 and began employing their 45 clinicians and staffers.
