Las Vegas children’s hospital project begins construction, targets 2030 opening
Intermountain Health has started work on a 33-acre pediatric hospital campus at the Harry Reid Research and Technology Park. The facility is planned to open in 2030 with 180 beds and services ranging from neonatal care to cancer treatment.
Intermountain Health broke ground Monday on the Felicia and Ben Horowitz Children’s Hospital, a planned pediatric campus at the Las Vegas Harry Reid Research and Technology Park. The hospital is expected to open in 2030 and would be Nevada’s first stand-alone children’s hospital.
The 33-acre campus is planned to encompass 828,600 square feet. Its first inpatient tower is expected to have 180 beds, with capacity to expand to 228.
Planned services include neonatal care, pediatric and cardiac intensive care, emergency and trauma care, orthopedics, cancer treatment and bone marrow transplants, behavioral health, and other medical and surgical care for children.
The project is named for Felicia and Ben Horowitz, who committed $150 million to it. Families, caregivers, community leaders, philanthropists and elected officials attended Monday’s groundbreaking.
Russ Williams, president of the hospital, said the project is part of a broader effort to bring people and resources together to address gaps in children’s care across Nevada.
