St. Rose gears for second hospitalAs Henderson approaches the next millennium, the city prepares for the blooming of a new rose.Groundbreaking for St. Rose Dominican Hospital's Siena Campus, located at the southwest corner of Lake Mead Drive and Eastern Avenue, took place on June 15. More than 200 people attended the ceremony in which Mayor Jim Gibson acknowledged the need for a second full-service hospital in the fastest-growing city in America. "It's really counter to the trend that we would be building a new hospital -- adding rooms, bringing in new doctors and other professionals -- to serve the needs of a dynamic and growing area," Gibson said. "To have the standard be set by St. Rose Dominican is to raise the bar, to influence the quality of medical care and attention to a new level. This hospital will help St. Rose Dominican achieve that." The facility is scheduled to open with 139 beds in early 2000, with another 161 beds slated to be added in 2006. Cost for the first phase is budgeted at $85 million, while the second phase is slated to cost $100 million. St. Rose is the only not-for-profit, non-tax supported and religiously sponsored health care facility in Southern Nevada. FULL TEXT
