Due to population growth, four new hospitals recently opened in the region (Summerlin, Spring Valley,<br />
St. Rose Dominican-Siena Campus and <strong>Southern</strong> Hills). Three new hospitals are also being built: a<br />
UHS hospital on the northwest side of Las Vegas is scheduled to open in 2005, Mountain View<br />
Hospital in Mesquite is expected to open during the summer of 2004, and in 2006, St. Rose<br />
Dominican-St. Martin Campus will open. In addition, many hospital EDs are undergoing expansion.<br />
This facility expansion has increased the pressure to hire hospital personnel.<br />
The volume of visits to the ED for each hospital in the Clark County region is presented below. This<br />
data was provided by the <strong>Nevada</strong> Division of <strong>Health</strong> Care Financ ing and Policy. From 1999 to 2001 the<br />
total volume rose by 2.3 percent increase for 2000 and 7.7 percent increase for 2001. However, in<br />
2002 the overall growth rate was flat.<br />
