About the Las Vegas Medical District
The vision and forward-thinking objective of the Las Vegas Medical District (LVMD) is to establish the area as the center of medicine in Southern Nevada. Home to the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV, multiple hospitals and ancillary medical facilities, the District is centrally located within the Las Vegas valley and positioned to catalyze economic development and growth in the city’s economic core.
As Southern Nevada continues to focus on economic diversification, the growth of the region’s medical industry is key, and nowhere else in the valley is there such a significant concentration of medical institutions. Via a thoughtful master plan, the LVMD will help attract new, high-paying employers to the region as well as advance a higher quality of life. Further development of the LVMD will provide jobs, bolster the health of Southern Nevadans, and stimulate development near the city of Las Vegas’ vital assets like downtown, Symphony Park, and the Arts District. Ultimately, the LVMD is poised to become a true center of academic medicine in Southern Nevada with its partners working collaboratively in the areas of education, research and treatment.
