MountainView Hospital announces $90M expansion
MountainView Hospital on Monday announced a $90 million expansion project.
The work will include the addition of 64 beds, the expansion of women's services, the upgrade of the neonatal intensive care unit, the expansion of the emergency department and a new medical office building.
Construction on a vertical expansion to the hospital's south tower will begin later this year, a hospital spokeswoman said. The first phase of construction includes adding a fourth and fifth floor with 32 private rooms per floor.
The first-floor expansion also will include the addition of new diagnostic imaging and intervention technology to treat the most complex neurological and stroke conditions. The project will increase the number of labor and delivery beds to 12 and increase the number of beds for post-partum recovery to 32.
Construction will start on the medical office building at the end of September and will include office suites and a 225-seat auditorium to support continuing education and community outreach programs and lectures. The building will sit on 8.2 acres adjacent to the hospital and will include additional parking spaces.
The announcement follows an expansion completed in 2013 that added a south tower and doubled the size of the emergency department. When the expansion is complete, MountainView will grow to a 400-bed hospital, from the current 340 beds. Construction is expected to take 18 months.
The expansion is part of a building boom of health care facilities taking place in Southern Nevada. When completed, hospital expansions at MountainView, St. Rose Dominican — Siena campus, Southern Hills and Spring Valley, and the construction of Henderson Hospital will add more than 400 beds to acute care facilities in Southern Nevada.
