A Tradition of Quality
When it comes to choosing a hospital, one thing is clear: quality and convenience count. Our tradition of providing quality healthcare in a comfortable, accessible environment means peace of mind for the thousands of patients served by Northern Nevada Medical Center each year.

Northern Nevada Medical Center provides physicians and patients with the latest in technological innovations for diagnosis and treatment of even the most acute clinical conditions.

Northern Nevada Medical Center is owned and operated by a subsidiary of Universal Health Services, Inc., a King of Prussia, PA-based company, one of the largest healthcare management companies in the nation.

The hospital is accredited by The Joint Commission (TJC)  and licensed by the state of Nevada.
