Desert Springs Hospital Medical Center

Desert Springs Hospital Medical Center, historically known as "The Heart Hospital," was a renowned 346-bed acute care facility located at 2075 East Flamingo Road in southeast Las Vegas that served the community for over 52 years from 1971 to 2023. As part of Valley Health System and HCA Healthcare, Desert Springs built an exceptional legacy in cardiac care.

The hospital became the first hospital in Nevada accredited as a Chest Pain Center by the Society of Chest Pain Centers in 2006 and earned recognition as one of America's 100 Best Hospitals for Coronary Intervention.

The hospital's cardiac services included cardiovascular surgery, interventional cardiology, electrophysiology procedures, and advanced chest pain evaluation units. Desert Springs was also Joint Commission-certified as a Primary Stroke Center, operated a nationally accredited Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence through MBSAQIP, and provided specialized services including wound care and hyperbaric medicine, geropsychiatric care for adults 55+, and comprehensive emergency services with fast-track capabilities.

The hospital played a heroic role during the October 1, 2017 mass shooting, treating over 100 patients, and served more than 5,760 COVID-19 patients throughout the pandemic.
