Partner Perspectives with Renown Health
Healthy Nevada Project
The Healthy Nevada Project, created by the Renown Institute for Health Innovation (IHI), is a clinical study offering no-cost genetic testing to residents of Nevada. This study aims to create a robust set of data—genomics, medical, and environmental—that enables researchers at Renown Health and the Desert Research Institute to advance the standard of care in Nevada and the nation as a whole. Participants in this study are given insights about their genetic ancestry and the potential influence of their DNA on certain wellness traits; among those who opt-in to receiving potentially medically relevant information, some participants will also learn about their genetic predispositions for certain diseases linked to heart disease and various cancers.
