In Henderson this December, a brand new hospital is set to welcome its first patients. The West Henderson Hospital, which broke ground in March 2022, has now been completed. FOX5's Joe Vigil was among the first to get a glimpse.

Significance of the Project

Beyond simply bringing a much-needed hospital to the community, this $230 million project holds significant importance for multiple reasons. As explained by Bret Loughridge, president of SR Construction, the team was faced with a desired budget and a project completion deadline while the plans were still in progress. By utilizing their unique "SR Built" Process, they were able to provide the owner with certainty in terms of time and budget. Working collaboratively with the design teams and the owner, a project solution was developed that met the desired goals, and the hospital was ultimately completed on time and approximately 4% under budget. Traditional construction methods could have added up to 18 months of additional work, but SR Construction ensured the hospital was built on time and within budget.The seven-story facility is equipped with an array of essential services. It features 150 inpatient beds, an emergency room to handle critical situations promptly, comprehensive cardiology services for heart-related care, a state-of-the-art radiology lab for accurate diagnoses, and a pharmacy to ensure patients have access to their medications.SE Construction emphasizes that the facility is master-planned for growth, with the potential to expand to 4550 beds as the demand for healthcare services continues to increase. This forward-thinking approach ensures that the hospital can meet the evolving needs of the community in the years to come.The opening of the West Henderson Hospital is a significant milestone for Henderson and the surrounding areas. It represents a commitment to providing high-quality healthcare services and improving the well-being of the local population. With its modern facilities and efficient construction process, it sets a new standard for healthcare facilities in the region.
