Summerlin Hospital

History

The Summerlin Hospital Medical Center opened on October 16, 1997. With an initial investment of $80 million, the brand new hospital would include 148 beds, all located in private rooms, and would offer Southern Nevada's first and only hospital-based cancer treatment facility.
