Nevada Children’s Hospital broke ground in Las Vegas on October 26, 2026, beginning a project that Intermountain Health expects to open in 2030. The nonprofit health system says the facility will be Nevada’s first stand-alone children’s hospital.

Key Takeaways

  • Plans call for an initial 180 inpatient beds, with room to expand to 228.
  • Felicia and Ben Horowitz have committed $150 million to a campaign supporting children’s health in Nevada.

Nevada Children’s Hospital plans and services

The Intermountain Health Felicia and Ben Horowitz Children’s Hospital is planned for a 33-acre campus, with approximately 828,600 square feet of hospital space.

Planned services include neonatal care, pediatric and cardiac intensive care, emergency and trauma care, orthopedics, cancer and bone marrow transplant services, behavioral health, and other medical and surgical care for children.

Intermountain says the facility is intended to serve families across Nevada and surrounding areas, including Arizona and southern Utah.

Philanthropic support and access to care

The groundbreaking also highlighted the emerging Intermountain Health Nevada Campaign for Kids. The campaign recently received a $150 million commitment from Felicia and Ben Horowitz.

Intermountain says the hospital forms part of a broader effort to expand pediatric expertise in Nevada. At the event, one family described having to leave Las Vegas for their daughter’s cancer treatment and continuing to seek some specialized care outside the state.
