Valley Hospital Medical Center and North Vista Hospital have been fined by state officials for unsafe hospital discharges.
Nevada state has found 11 discharge issues among seven Las Vegas-area hospitals, resulting in two fines and alleged discharges to homeless shelters.
Nevada’s 15 rural counties also saw their largest numbers in the past decade, with slightly more than 400 people experiencing homelessness on the day the count took place.
Overall numbers of unhoused people across the state have increased, but experts say the point-in-time count doesn’t account for the complexities of homelessness and is a single annual snapshot within a community that changes every day.
