The NV-RDAC's mission is to improve the quality of life and support care for Nevadans affected by rare diseases through collaboration, education, support, and advocacy. Our council seeks to advocate for Nevadans impacted by rare diseases as well as identify the overall impact these diseases have in our community.
Cellular and gene therapies are transforming treatment for rare diseases—offering the potential for cures where none existed before. Learn what therapies are available in Nevada, where patients can access them, and how NV-RDAC is working to expand access for all Nevadans.
The Nevada Rare Disease Advisory Council (NV-RDAC) was formed under SB315 during the 2019 legislative session of the Nevada legislature. The NV-RDAC is an advising body that provides a platform for those living in Nevada who are affected by a rare disease.
Our goal is to provide this community a stronger voice in state government. Many other states have established RDACs which have resulted in providing stakeholders an opportunity to make recommendations to state leaders on critical issues including the need for increased awareness, diagnostic tools, and access to affordable treatments.
We welcome the public to participate in the rare disease advisory meetings. Our meetings are open to the public and take place the first Friday of every month at 9:30am PST.
Meeting minutes are the official, written record of discussions, decisions, and action items that take place during our monthly meetings.
