A number of Clark County School District high schools now offer healthier vending machine options for their students.

Fresh Healthy Vending is moving into the southern Nevada market and has installed its machines in nine local high schools. All food and drink options stocked in the machines exceed nutritional guidelines for schools, according to company officials.

According to a report in Bloomberg Businessweek, the San Diego-based company "charges franchisees about $11,000 per machine, which they then manage by ordering from Fresh Healthy online and restocking once or twice a week.”

A number of local youth groups are partnering with Keep Las Vegas Beautiful, the American Lung Association and the city of Las Vegas to clean up cigarette litter in five city parks Saturday morning.

The event takes place from 10 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.

Parks that will be cleaned around playgrounds, grassy areas and picnic sections include:

Nathan Adelson Hospice will move its Buffalo inpatient facility into the MountainView Medical Offices to gain more space, the company’s president announced Thursday. 

The new space will be located on the third floor of the building at 3150 N. Tenaya Way, at the corner of Cheyenne Avenue, adjacent to MountainView Hospital. Move-in is expected by January. 

The 1,000 additional square feet and accessible location will be assets to the non-profit hospice, allowing for a more comfortable setting, four more patient beds (jumping the number from 14 to 18), improved parking and security, scenic views for patients and their families, a large conference room, and additional room for the Home Care team.
