Centennial Hills Hospital: Celebrating 10 Years of Caring for the Northwest and North Las Vegas Communities
Since opening its doors in January 2008, Centennial Hills Hospital has worked non-stop to bring high-quality care to residents of northwest Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and surrounding communities by adding advanced cardiovascular, neurological and neonatology services, more private rooms and specialized patient care units.
“This is an exciting time in our hospital’s history,” said Sajit Pullarkat, CEO/Managing Director, who has worked at Centennial Hills Hospital since its inception. “We’ve watched our community grow, and listened to residents who said they wanted to receive advanced medical care close to home. We will continue to explore new services and opportunities to enhance the patient experience.”
