Patient Care Card

Northern Nevada Medical Center's exclusive new Patient Care Card puts you in charge of your health data.
 
What fits in the palm of your hand and puts personal medical data right at your fingertips? It’s the Northern Nevada Medical Center’s Patient Care Card… and it’s now available free to you and your family.

For thousands of Nevada residents, this small but powerful card will mean better access to care and, most importantly, peace of mind in a medical emergency. The size of a credit card, it is imprinted with personal medical data (insurance, blood type and medical history information of your choice) that can be readily accessed. Many parents also place cards in their children’s backpacks and give them to babysitters or daycare providers.

The card is a timesaver whenever you receive care at Northern Nevada Medical Center or a participating physician office. When the card is swiped through a card reader at the hospital or a participating providers’ office, staff can access the data, thereby speeding admissions and reducing paperwork.

Why is NNMC providing this card free to you and your family? Because we know you have a choice in healthcare, and we want to provide an important benefit that will save time, ease stress and improve your experience whenever you or a family member are a patient.

Northern Nevada Medical Center has been recognized with Accreditation with Full Standards Compliance, the highest level possible, by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.

You also can be assured that everyone throughout the hospital, as well as physicians in the community who accept the card, follow best practices guidelines in providing the highest quality health services. These providers compare clinical outcomes to the nation’s top hospitals. They are innovators with new programs such as the Patient Care Card, working hard to keep our communities healthy.

This program even impressed former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop. When shown the card, Dr. Koop said:
“I can’t imagine an individual or parent who wouldn’t want to be empowered with such vital information.”
