Desert View Hospital - Back-to-School Health Fair

What is it?

At the Back-to-School Health Fair, Desert View Hospital and its community partners provide free vaccinations and other offerings to ensure that the children of Pahrump Valley start the school year healthy. The annual event offers children a “one-stop shop” to get free immunizations, sports physicals, scoliosis checks and dental and vision screenings. Families also can access free school supplies, fun activities and health and school information through vendors and the Nye County School District’s representatives.
