Henderson Hospital Cuts Maternity Services | Las Vegas News

Henderson Hospital is shutting down its maternity and NICU services by September 30, 2026, citing declining births and admissions nationwide, plus rising ER and inpatient demand. The hospital will convert the maternity unit into 32 new surgical rooms and renovate the NICU space for 32 more surgical beds — finished by late 2027. Staff, especially nurses who rallied against the closure, are heartbroken, fearing reduced care for high-risk pregnancies and a profit-driven system. While patients will be transitioned to other Valley Health System hospitals like Centennial Hills or Summerlin, about 100 employees may find new roles within the network. This move reallocates resources to meet current medical-surgical needs — but at a human cost. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
