摘要

Summerlin Hospital Medical Center in Las Vegas is undergoing a 100 million dollars surgical procedure. The n-year-old, 281-bed facility at 657 Town Center Drive is adding a third patient tower and parking garage and expanding its emergency room. The hospital, on 40 acres, is part of the Valley Health System owned by UHS Inc. of King of Prussia, Pa. It has roughly 1,400 employees. "We're growing to meet the needs of our community," says Claude Wise, the hospital's associate administrator. "This expansion has been carefully planned to incorporate the types of medical services our community needs and will not only add rooms but will allow us to expand our services."
