This page names the hospital systems in the region, shows how far each town is from Reno, and lists what to carry with you. ## Hospitals in the region Reno has Renown Regional Medical Center and Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center, and the VA Sierra Nevada Health Care System serves veterans. Carson City has Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center, Gardnerville has Carson Valley Medical Center, and Truckee has Tahoe Forest Hospital. Medicare.gov's Care Compare lists each facility's quality information, and the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services publishes facility information. Check which health plans each system accepts before you choose a home, because networks differ. ## Distances from our Sparks warehouse Reno is 6.3 miles and 11 minutes. Carson City is 32.6 miles and 39 minutes. Minden is 46.9 miles and Gardnerville 49.1 miles, about an hour. Truckee is 35.7 miles and 48 minutes, Incline Village 32.7 miles and 48 minutes, and South Lake Tahoe 60.4 miles and 83 minutes. Mountain roads can slow those times in winter; see [winter driving](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/winter-driving/). If a family member has a condition that needs specialists, picking a home within the Reno-Sparks area keeps those appointments short. ## Settling in with a doctor Ask your current providers for records and prescriptions before you leave. A checklist, kept in the first-night box described in our [first-night box guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/first-night-box/), should include insurance cards, medication lists and referral letters. Altitude can affect sleep and hydration for the first weeks; see [living at 4,500 feet](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/altitude/). Older adults and families with special equipment often need extra help on moving day. O'Brien's [senior moving service](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/senior-moving/) includes sorting help, packing and unpacking. ## Air quality and seasonal health Wildfire smoke can affect air quality in late summer; the [smoke season guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/wildfire-smoke-season/) explains how locals prepare. Dry air and about 7.35 inches of precipitation a year mean many residents use humidifiers in winter. ## Planning the move around care Schedule the move so that prescriptions are filled and appointments set before the truck arrives. A free in-home estimate comes with 10 free heavy-duty boxes you keep, and vault storage from $40 per month can hold goods while a home is prepared.
