Proven Community Care Patient Robert Bennet and Dr. Karen West, Dean of UNLV School of Dental Medicine HISTORY Some of the land on which the Las Vegas Medical District is taking shape was dedicated to agriculture well into the 1930s. It was once home to an 80-acre dairy farm, cultivated by a Japanese tenant farmer and housed handicapped and indigent men in the 1920s in what was then known as the Clark County Poor Farm. Part of this property is the former site of the Clark County Hospital, which was the genesis for today’s University Medical Center of Southern Nevada (UMC), the former site of the Southern Nevada Health District building erected in 1965 and now the future site of new buildings for the UNLV School of Medicine. *This material was researched by Frank Wright of the Nevada State Museum and Historical Society RECENT MILESTONES 2017 2015 UNLV School of Medicine welcomes its inaugural class of 60 students on Las Vegas City Council approves updated LVMD Master Plan July 17, opening Southern Nevada’s first allopathic school of medicine Steinberg Diagnostic Medical Imaging building opens A $25 million donation by an anonymous donor is accepted by UNLV Founding Scholarship campaign for UNLV medical school secures School of Medicine $13.5 million State Legislature approves $25 million in additional funding for the State funds released for medical school medical school, above and beyond the $21.8 million for 2017-18 and Dr. Atkinson is named Founding Dean of medical school $30.2 million for 2018-19 already allocated from the state’s general fund City of Las Vegas hosts a number of public forums to gather community Renaming of Bearden Drive and Goldring Avenue to Wellness Way feedback on the LVMD Master Plan Bearden Drive and Goldring Avenue realignment project starts 2014 construction Planning Dean for medical school, Dr. Barbara Atkinson is hired 2016 UNLV School of Medicine is officially established City of Las Vegas Public Works Department starts Shadow Lane Community Advisory Board for medical school is established Improvement project along with LVMD Sidewalk Infill program Sands Cares donates $70,000 to UNLV School of Dental Medicine’s Bearden Drive and Goldring Avenue Realignment projects in design dental clinic Clark County Health District’s Shadow Lane Campus transfer to UNLV City of Las Vegas invests $200,000 to develop the LVMD Master Plan School of Medicine is approved 2013 UNLV Ackerman Autism Center opens pms 3135 Vision for UNLV School of Medicine is established ACGME accreditation is granted to medical schoolcool grayas 7 an institutional sponsor of graduate medical education pms 576 Economic Impact Report commissioned for four-year allopathic Public UNLV School of Medicine achieves preliminary accreditation by the Medical Education Plan is approved for medical school by NSHE Board Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) of Regents NOTE: The Las Vegas Medical District was established by the Las Vegas City Council in 1997 TM LAS VEGAS MEDICAL DISTRICT LAS VEGAS MEDICAL DISTRICT Operating within the LVMD BY THE NUMBERS LAS VEGAS MEDICAL DISTRICT By the Numbers! 684 Acres 214 core acres bounded by Charleston Boulevard on the south, Rancho Drive on the west, Alta Drive on the north, and Martin L.
