Makeover magic
By Shannon Powers-Jones, Contributing Editor
As a small hospital built in 1931, what is now University Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, boasted just 20 beds total, and a staff that consisted of only one doctor and one nurse for more than two years. Renamed Southern Nevada Memorial Hospital in the 1950s, the facility quickly began to expand—a $1.6-million, three-story circular wing and a $590,000 outpatient building were added to the hospital in the early 1960s. The 1970s gave rise to a six-story medical education center, a seven-story patient tower, a new obstetrics unit, and an enlarged burn unit. In 1986, the hospital's name was officially changed to University Medical Center of Southern Nevada.
