Southern Hills Hospital Finishes $25 Million Operating Room Expansion in Las Vegas
Southern Hills Hospital and Medical Center in Las Vegas has completed a $25 million expansion of its operating room facilities, significantly enhancing healthcare access for the region. The project, led by McCarthy Building Companies, adds 20,000 square feet of new space while renovating 10,000 square feet, further increasing the hospital’s capacity to meet the growing medical needs of the community.
The expansion includes three new operating rooms, a hybrid operating room, and additional shell space designated for a future operating room. Designed to optimize both patient care and staff efficiency, the upgraded facility also features:
- 12 new prep and recovery bays
- A dedicated physician and staff lounge
- Expanded clinical support areas
These additions enhance surgical capabilities and improve workflow and comfort for medical teams, reinforcing Southern Hills Hospital’s commitment to high-quality patient care.
The 16-month project required over 56,000 hours of work, with McCarthy Building Companies implementing strategic safety and operational protocols to ensure uninterrupted hospital services. Special precautions were taken to integrate with existing utilities, allowing the original operating room suite to remain fully functional throughout construction.
Ross Edwards, Senior Vice President for McCarthy Building Companies, emphasized the importance of teamwork in executing a complex healthcare project. “We take great pride in our proven success in healthcare construction, where collaboration and communication are essential,” Edwards told News 3LV.
Located at 9300 W. Sunset Road, near S. Fort Apache Road, Southern Hills Hospital continues strengthening its role as a leading healthcare provider in Las Vegas. This latest expansion reinforces its dedication to medical excellence and ensures patients receive top-tier surgical care in a state-of-the-art facility.
