LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Nevada’s first stand-alone children’s hospital will be named the Intermountain Health Felicia and Ben Horowitz Children’s Hospital after the couple made a $150 million commitment to the project, the Intermountain Foundation announced Friday.
The gift is one of the largest ever made to a children’s hospital in the United States, according to Intermountain. The hospital is expected to break ground next week and open in 2030 at the UNLV Harry Reid Research and Technology Park in southwest Las Vegas.
Intermountain said the funding will support efforts to recruit pediatric providers, develop specialized programs and advance research. The hospital also plans to address needs including behavioral health and specialized pediatric care.
