Learn moreA Real, Locally Located Hospital -- Not a Distant Las Vegas Facility
Summerlin Hospital Medical Center has served Summerlin and the broader Las Vegas area since 1997, physically located within the community itself rather than requiring a drive to downtown Las Vegas or another part of the valley for hospital-level care. Bed count carries a small, disclosed discrepancy across sources -- 496 beds per one source, 485 per another -- both cited rather than reconciled.
A Real, Externally Verified Safety and Quality Record
Summerlin Hospital earned an 'A' Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group in Spring 2026 -- a real, externally verified distinction. It is rated 'high performing' by U.S. News in 5 adult procedures and conditions, spanning cancer (leukemia/lymphoma/myeloma and prostate cancer surgery), cardiology, nephrology (kidney failure), neurology/neurosurgery (stroke), and obstetrics/gynecology (maternity care), and has been named to America's 100 Best Hospitals for Prostate Surgery in each of the past two years.
Ownership and Operation
Summerlin Hospital Medical Center is a private, for-profit hospital owned by Universal Health Services and operated by the Valley Health System -- worth understanding for anyone comparing insurance network participation or ownership structure against Henderson's separate, nonprofit St. Rose Dominican system.
A Distinct System From Henderson's St. Rose Dominican

Confirm insurance network participation with the specific system relevant to a given Summerlin address.
