Reno, Nev.-based Renown Health reopened its Crisis Care Center in Sparks, Nev., following a closure in April due to the termination of federal American Rescue Plan Act funding, according to a Nov. 11 report from 2 News Nevada

The facility is now funded through Nevada’s 988 crisis response fee, a 35-cent surcharge on all phone lines that support crisis services statewide. Nevada is among the first states to implement this funding model, according to the report. 

The center provides 24/7 short-term behavioral health crisis intervention and stabilization services.
