Intermountain Health joined Nevada families, caregivers, community leaders, philanthropists, elected officials and supporters to break ground on the Intermountain Health Felicia and Ben Horowitz Children’s Hospital. 

The event brought a colorful light display, play tractors for kids and an artist-created sandcastle rendering of the hospital. Families also shared their personal journeys and hopes for the new hospital, keeping children at the heart of the celebration. 

The hospital, expected to open in 2030, is part of a broader effort to strengthen children’s health in Nevada by expanding pediatric expertise and bringing healthcare, community and philanthropic partners together around the needs of children and families. 

Plans call for a 33-acre campus, an approximately 828,600-square-foot hospital with an initial 180-bed inpatient tower that can expand to 228 beds. 

The hospital will house neonatal care, pediatric and cardiac intensive care, emergency and trauma care, orthopedics, cancer and bone marrow transplant services, behavioral health and advanced medical and surgical care for children.
