Through the latest treatment techniques, comfortable surroundings and a dedicated staff, that commitment is expressed every day, in every area of the hospital.

Top-of-the-Line Technology
University Medical Center is the state-designated Level I Trauma Center for Southern Nevada, as well as the only advanced facility to offer a specialized team of medical professionals prepared to respond to the needs of the severely injured 24 hours a day. UMC also houses the state's only burn care facility -- the Lions Burn Care Center, and operates a comprehensive free-standing unit devoted solely to physical medicine and rehabilitation.

From sophisticated Orthopedics and Neurological Units to our Ambulatory Surgical Center, UMC is dedicated to meeting your health care needs every day by giving technology a tender touch.

We've Got You Covered
UMC Quick Care Centers are conveniently located throughout the community and provide urgent and ongoing care for the entire family, with no appointment necessary. Quick Care Centers treat everything from a minor illness or injury to comprehensive everyday health care needs, as well as serving as primary care sites for many HMO's and managed care organizations.

Know How Much We Care
UMC's most valuable resource is, by far, its people. Our staff members -- from volunteer to highly-specialized physician -- listen to the needs of each and every patient, and are dedicated to giving the attention and respect they deserve. At the very heart of patient care is our devoted nursing staff. Our nurses minister not only to the physical needs of patients, but also to the unique emotional needs of patient and family members. This exceptional sensitivity and expertise, combined with progressive technology and education, keep University Medical Center moving toward the future as a top choice for all health care needs within the community.
