The hospital has 226 beds and an area of 354000square feet,^[1] The campus includes two medical office buildings.

History

The hospital opened its eight-story tower on January 21, 2008, having originally planned to open in Autumn 2007. The building included 52000square feet of space for future expansion.^[2] 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]

In 2015 the daughter of Amy Vilela was turned away from Centennial Hills Hospital because of a lack of health insurance after having presented symptoms of a deep vein thrombosis. She later died when the blood clot broke off and became a pulmonary embolism^[5] This led to Vilela fighting for single-payer healthcare system or commonly called as "Medicare for All".^[6]
