In 1862, the organization's roots was established with the formation of the Washoe Clinic.[2] The clinic was founded to treat patients affected by a smallpox outbreak in Washoe Valley, Nevada.[2] The Washoe County Hospital opened in 1864, after Nevada became a state.[2] The medical center and the healthcare organization were transferred to Washoe Health Systems, a private non-profit organization, in 1984.[2] In 2006, Washoe Health System changed its name to Renown Health.[2]

The Renown Regional Medical Center opened a new pediatric intensive care unit and pediatric floor in February 2012.[3][4] Renown raised $5.2 million for the 10 month construction project.[4] The remodeling of the floor was Renown's largest philanthropic project.[4]

Facilities[]

The Renown Regional Medical Center consists of two Centers for Advanced Medicine.[1] The hospital facilitates the Renown Children's Hospital, the area's only dedicated children's hospital.[1][3][4] Renown Regional provides cancer, heart, neurosciences, orthopedics, surgery, intensive care and women's and children's services.[1] Renown Regional is the region's only Level II Trauma Center.[1]
