The Pathways Community Advisory Council (PCAC) consists of individuals who live and work in Clark County and who guide the development of the Southern Nevada Pathways Community HUB (SNV HUB). The PCAC supports community engagement and participation efforts, provides direction for the participant and community health worker (CHW) experience, reviews data, and brings input from community partners to continually improve implementation of the SNV HUB.

The PCAC works closely with the SNV HUB staff to identify and address issues in the community through analysis of the SNV HUB data (e.g., gaps, resources, etc.) and plays a pivotal role in quality improvement of community-based care coordination and alignment of community resources.

The PCAC is committed to improving the health of the community. In partnership with the PCAC, the SNV HUB regularly communicates and reports its strategies, progress and challenges to its funders, policymakers, care coordination agency (CCA) members, participants and the community at large.
