A New Academic Medical Center for Las Vegas?
Posted: August 8th, 2005 - Written By: Michelle SterlingA 61 acre parcel of Las Vegas real estate that is located in the downtown area and owned by the city is slated to be developed into a new teaching medical center if negotiations can be completed. The negotiations are being conducted between the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, the City of Las Vegas and State of Nevada higher education officials. This exciting new proposal is moving forward and all sides have agreed to start designing a master-plan for the proposed site. The vision being pursued is a jointly operated medical center that is based on the University of Pittsburgh’s medical expertise. The new academic center would provide a top-notch training facility for Nevada medical students combined with a research facility. Southern Nevada residents would benefit from an inclusive medical campus that would provide care for a multitude of medical needs. MS Las Vegas Real Estate welcomes the University of Pittsburgh to Las Vegas and wishes great success to this endeavor.
