Las Vegas-based Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center was designated as a level 1 trauma center by the state.
“We extend our sincere appreciation to Governor [Joe] Lombardo for recognizing the need for this important designation and allowing us the ability to train and attract top-tier physicians in Nevada and engage in trauma research,” hospital CEO Todd Sklamberg said in an April 14 news release.
Level 1 trauma centers can deliver total care for every aspect of injury and must meet rigorous standards set by the state and national accrediting bodies. The hospital received its level 2 trauma designation in 2005.
The 834-bed acute care hospital is part of HCA Healthcare’s Far West Division.
