Company History
University Medical Center (UMC) has been serving the health care needs of Southern Nevadans since 1931. UMC was the first hospital in Clark County. It was originally a 20-bed facility, located on a dirt road west of the railroad tracks. For the first two years, it was operated by a single doctor and a single nurse. In 1940, the hospital's first board of trustees was elected, and the hospital's name was changed to Clark County General Hospital. The population in Clark County continued to grow, and by 1945, the hospital had 106 beds.
In 1951, Clark County General Hospital changed its name to Southern Nevada Memorial Hospital. With the name change, the hospital began a new mission: staying current with medical technology and expanding its services to support the fast-growing, diverse community. Between the early 1950's and the late 1970's, the hospital's expansion progressed rapidly.
By February 1986, the hospital's name was changed to University Medical Center of Southern Nevada to reflect its role as a teaching institution better. As well as becoming the first to provide Quick Cares and Primary Cares in Nevada.
Later, in 1993, UMC received designation as a Level II Trauma Center, and in January of 1999, we received our Level I Trauma designation.
