Very happy to see NVax come into place!!!! We need voices for vaccines in our state!

Hi! We’re NVax: Nevada’s immunization coalition 👋

It’s nice to meet you! 😊

Nevada has historically struggled with vaccination. Our children have among the lowest rates of on-time immunization in the country, and by the time they enter school, they have among the highest rates of non-medical vaccine exemptions. Our adults have some of the lowest rates of influenza vaccination. And during the COVID vaccination campaigns at the height of the pandemic, Nevada fell in the lowest third of states. In short, we are always at the top of the bad lists and the bottom of the good ones.

We are here to change that.

NVax was founded at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas School of Public Health in 2026 to fill a gap in the state. We exist to bring together our community – patients, parents, providers, and partner organizations – to protect Nevadans against completely preventable diseases.

It won’t be easy. It won’t happen overnight. But with the support of the community, our members, and our partners, we will get there.

Learn more about our mission, get involved, and join us in building a healthier Nevada by visiting our website: nvax.org. Link in bio. 🔗

It's 2025, and time for those New Year's resolutions. Is one of your resolutions to get into better shape? Whether your goal is to lose a few pounds or improve your sports performance, we can help. While knowing your weight from a traditional scale is a start, what's even more helpful is knowing about your muscle mass, fat mass, and the critically crucial visceral fat. We recently acquired the InBody 970, allowing us to measure all these (plus many other measures) in less than 2 minutes. Compared to other bio-impendence machines, the InBody 970 gives research-quality results by measuring eight frequencies for five different body segments. For more info, visit our website or

A high-quality body composition device designed for medical and fitness professionals, the InBody 970 goes beyond standard outputs, providing a wealth of information across multiple Result Sheets. Use the Comparison, Research, and Evaluation Result Sheets to monitor health over time, gather in-depth...

I get quoted in this article!

The biggest Medicare Advantage insurer presented physicians with checklists of potential diagnose.; “I didn’t think I was obese,” one suspicious patient told his doctor.

Dear Silver Sage Patients: We've been having issues with our phone system that have been getting worse lately. I'm trying to get a sense of how big of an issue this is. If you've had problems with wait times/getting a hole of us, can you please let me know here. I'm in the process of interviewing new companies but I need to understand our problems first before we come up with a solution. Thanks- Dr P

We love supporting Girls on the Run Sierra! Getting these notes from some of the runners always makes us emotional and just drives home how great this program is. Also, can these runners give a handwriting lesson to Dr Pasternak?
