Hello, Nevada!Intermountain Children’s Health, together with the state of Nevada and our community partners, is building the state’s first stand‑alone Children’s Hospital and advancing our shared vision for building the nation’s model health system for children. |
|
Intermountain Children’s Health has long cared for Nevada’s kids as a nonprofit health system, and we’re ready to do even more. Guided by our philosophy, The Child First and Always, we’re committed to helping children live healthy, thriving lives. Nevada families and community leaders have called for a dedicated children’s hospital for decades. Las Vegas is still the largest U.S. metro area without one, and many families must leave the state for care. We’re stepping in to change that. Intermountain Children’s Health is building a comprehensive children’s hospital that will offer full pediatric services including: a PICU, highest level NICU, cardiac ICU, oncology/BMT, and comprehensive behavioral health so more children can get high‑quality without having to travel far for care.

Frequently Asked QuestionsHow is Intermountain different?We’re a nonpofit health system. Intermountain Health is a nonprofit health system, which means we exist to benefit our community. Rather than paying “profits” to an owner or shareholders, we’re able to channel those funds back into our business operations — allowing us to offer more affordable, world-class care to our patients and the families who love them. Intermountain Health has the track record to deliver. Nevada’s first stand-alone Children’s Hospital will open in 2030. A construction project of this type and magnitude will take approximately five years from ground-breaking to completion. When will the new hospital open?The new hospital is projected to be open and caring for patients in 2030. We’ll be sharing construction updates with the community. What can I look forward to in order to track progress?We’ll have an evolving list to share with you in the months ahead. Each new event will be one more step on our journey to providing overall, comprehensive pediatric care for Nevada’s children and families — think of these events as a drumbeat.
