Clark County health services in Las Vegas: SNHD phone numbers, clinics and records help
If you search for the Clark County Health Department in Las Vegas, the agency you usually need is the Southern Nevada Health District, or SNHD. It is the local public-health authority serving Las Vegas and the wider Clark County region.
Around the Valley, one number will not handle every task. Birth certificates, vaccines, food-handler cards, septic permits, sexual-health care and primary care all have their own routes, so this guide puts the useful numbers up front.
Is there a Clark County Health Department in Las Vegas?
For most local public-health services, use the Southern Nevada Health District. Clark County lists SNHD among its regional government agencies, and SNHD identifies itself as the local public-health authority for Clark County, Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City and Mesquite.

Have the street address, jurisdiction and APN or business name before calling Environmental Health.
New construction, remodels, pool work, commercial projects and real-estate septic certifications do not follow the same process.
SNHD’s septic program accepts electronic submittals and may require appointments for plan drop-off or particular counter services.
Building departments may require SNHD septic approval before issuing or closing certain permits on septic-served properties.
Need WIC in Las Vegas? Use Nevada WIC, not the SNHD main desk
WIC is a common “health department” search, but Las Vegas-area WIC clinics are routed through the Nevada WIC system and participating local agencies. Nevada WIC’s official locator lists multiple Las Vegas and North Las Vegas clinics.
Nevada WIC serves qualifying pregnant people, postpartum participants, breastfeeding participants, infants and children under age five who meet Nevada residency, financial and nutritional-risk criteria.
Official listings include Nevada Health Centers WIC sites on Bonanza, Cambridge, Boulder Highway, Rancho and other Las Vegas-area locations.

What to bring before visiting an SNHD office
Las Vegas traffic and long cross-town drives make a repeat trip frustrating. Call the exact program first and use this checklist to avoid showing up without the item staff need.
How to find the right Clark County public-health service
Decide whether you need a certificate, vaccine, clinic appointment, food card, restaurant permit, septic record, WIC clinic or public record.
Call the program-specific number when possible instead of relying only on the SNHD main switchboard.
Make sure the Decatur, Fremont, Bonanza, Henderson, Mesquite or Laughlin location actually offers the service on the day you plan to visit.
Bring ID, insurance, vaccine history, income proof, record relationship proof or property documents based on the task.
Use SNHD, Nevada WebIZ or Nevada WIC official links rather than third-party certificate, health-card or record websites.
