Hospital planned for northwest LV

Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2003 | 9:39 a.m.

Universal Health Services Inc. announced Tuesday plans to build a fifth hospital in the Las Vegas Valley, this one in the far northwest part of town.

The King of Prussia, Pa.-based company, which operates locally as Valley Health System, plans to build an acute care hospital at the intersection of I-215 and U.S. 95 in the Montecito Town Center.

The company has not disclosed details such as how many beds the hospital will have or what the construction timetable will be.

Universal Health said in a statement that it chose the area because its "dynamic growth of the last five years is projected to continue well past 2010. ... Without a community hospital to call their own, these residents' health care needs would remain underserved."

The statement also said Universal Health focuses on areas where the population is expanding.

Universal Health also owns Desert Springs, Valley, Spring Valley and Summerlin hospitals.
