The Las Vegas City Council established the Las Vegas Medical DistrictTM (LVMD) in 1997. LVMD is centrally located near downtown Las Vegas, encompassing approximately 674 acres. Within this district are several anchor partners: Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, Clinical Simulation Center of Las Vegas, Desert Radiologists, Steinberg Diagnostic Medical Imaging, UMC (University Medical Center), University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) School of Dental Medicine and Valley Hospital Medical Center. The new Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV is the cornerstone of the LVMD with development of the entire area guided by a comprehensive master plan that brings together medical services and providers in a way that Southern Nevada has not yet experienced.
The Las Vegas Medical District is a collaborative effort between the city of Las Vegas and the downtown Las Vegas medical and health care community. The LVMD creates an environment that supports future and continued development of businesses and real property within the district. The goal is to further the availability of services complimentary to current medical providers, build on the sense of community and enhance the quality of health care for all Southern Nevada.
The following medical institutions are being developed: the UNLV Ambulatory & Behavioral Health Care Center and research programs. In addition to health institutions, student and employee housing, recreation and fitness options, more medical office buildings, a hotel with conference center, day care/pre-school, more dining options are all being discussed to fully support the needs of the community.
The master plan guides the comprehensive development. Key priorities include infrastructure elements to create an attractive, functioning campus that will include but not be limited to streets, sidewalks and streetscape; transportation and transit parking.
