Since 1972, Veterans Administration Southern Nevada Healthcare System (VHA) has been in the business of warmly welcoming and purposefully serving the healthcare needs of Nevada veterans. Even though there are numerous medical centers and outpatient clinics, VHA has remained busy, and with the decision by the government to begin bringing troops back home, the number of veterans in need of medical service will rise in the coming years.
When the Department of Veterans Administration made the decision to construct the new Southern Nevada Medical Center, Clark/Hunt, A Joint Venture, jumped at the opportunity to build the new hospital and surrounding buildings. In its entirety, the medical center is a 780,000 square-foot facility with four components: Diagnostic and Treatment facility, an Ambulatory Care and Rehab Medicine facility, a Mental Health Clinic and an Administrative wing.
The main tower is seven stories high and houses two floors of beds for patients at the top. The fourth floor is for Mechanical, the third floor houses the Surgical Suites and Cardiology Labs, level two houses the Labs, Central Sterile and Processing plus the Medical Administration, and the first floor is the Pharmacy, Radiology, MRI and Nuclear Medicine departments. The ambulatory facility is a three-story building situated on the west side of the tower, and the Mental Health Clinic is two stories high, located on the east side of the tower. At the North side of the tower is the one-story Administrative and Education wing, where patients will be able to check into the hospital. Continue reading
