A new hospital model is coming to the Las Vegas Valley, according to an article on the Las Vegas Review-Journal website. mDignity Health is planning four smaller neighborhood hospitals across the Las Vegas Valley in the next two years.
The medical centers will have six to eight inpatient beds each, compared with the 120 to 330 beds inside Dignity's existing local campuses.
They'll also house primary-care offices, full emergency departments, diagnostic imaging services and lab services. They'll cost about $25 million each to build.
The idea is to shift less critically ill patients away from Dignity Health's regional acute-care centers.
