Walkthrough the Culinary Health Center

On Thursday, June 15 2017, Culinary Health Fund unveiled an innovative, high-quality health care center designed to provide increased access to primary and preventative care to tens of thousands of eligible Las Vegas Culinary Health Fund members. The multi-service Culinary Health Center will provide eligible members with access to a full range of medical services in one convenient location. The Culinary Health Center is located at 650 North Nellis Boulevard - central to a large portion of Culinary Health Fund’s members – and has a dedicated emphasis on enhanced patient experience and focus on saving members time with easy access to services and high-quality care. In addition to adult and pediatric primary care, eligible members will have access to urgent care, pharmacy, dental care, and optometry services on site. In addition to expanded services, the Culinary Health Center will reinforce what Las Vegas does best – creating an exceptional service experience. Members of the Culinary Workers Union Local 226, Bartender’s Union Local 165, Musicians Union of Las Vegas Local 369, and the IATSE Local 720 will be able to schedule appointments via mobile phone and same day appointments will be available. Culinary Union Secretary-Treasurer Geoconda Arguello-Kline congratulated the Health Fund’s Trustees and Culinary Union Members: “This is a dream come true for Culinary Union members who have made family health care their highest priority for so many years. Our nation may feel divided today, but our Employer and Culinary Union Health Fund Trustees are showing what can happen in America when we work together.” The Culinary Health Fund invested $30 million into the construction of the Culinary Health Center, which, resulted in 150 new, full time jobs, including doctors, optometrists, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, and a wide-range of people dedicated to delivering high-quality care. In addition to cultivating the Las Vegas health care landscape by welcoming Activate Healthcare to Nevada as its partner for adult and pediatric primary care services, the Culinary Health Center will partner with local health care leaders including Clinical Pathology Laboratories, Inc, Desert Radiology, The EyeCare Center, Nevada Dental Benefits, OptumRx, and U.S. Acute Care Solutions, to help strengthen existing local practices.
