History[]

The hospital opened its eight-story tower on January 21, 2008, having originally planned to open in Autumn 2007. The building included 52,000 square feet (4,800 m2) of space for future expansion.[1] It is the first tobacco-free campus in Nevada.[3] Centennial Hills Hospital Medical Center was the first medical facility in the state to offer the scanning system known as the O-arm.[4]
