The Intermountain Health Felicia and Ben Horowitz Children’s Hospital is expected to break ground next week at the UNLV Harry Reid Research and Technology Park and open in 2030. It is planned as Nevada’s first stand-alone children’s hospital.

Intermountain said the donation will support recruitment of pediatric providers, specialized programs and research. The hospital is also intended to address needs including behavioral health and specialized pediatric care. The health system described the commitment as one of the largest gifts ever made to a children’s hospital in the United States.

“Every parent wants to know that when their child needs care, the very best people and resources are there for them,” Felicia Horowitz said in a statement. She leads the Horowitz Family Foundation and co-founded and serves as president of The Paid in Full Foundation. Ben Horowitz is a co-founder and general partner of venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.

The project is part of Intermountain’s broader effort to link pediatric services across its system, including specialty care at Primary Children’s Hospitals in Utah and expanded pediatric services in Billings, Montana. Intermountain operates 34 hospitals and about 400 clinics across six western states.

The gift also joins the Nevada Campaign for Kids, a fundraising effort for the hospital. Campaign co-chairs Bill Hornbuckle, CEO of MGM Resorts International, and Wendy Hornbuckle have said the project aims to bring specialized care closer to Nevada children and families.
