UNLV Health

What UNLV Health does

UNLV Health is a Nevada nonprofit corporation that operates as the clinical faculty practice plan of the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV. Founded in March 2016 following approval by the Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents, the organization delivers multi-specialty outpatient care across eight clinic locations in the Las Vegas Valley, supported by 150+ physicians and 400+ employees. Its service lines include family medicine, internal medicine and its subspecialties (cardiology, pulmonology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, hematology, neurology, rheumatology), pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology (including high-risk maternal-fetal medicine), general and bariatric surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, otolaryngology, and adult and child/adolescent psychiatry (Mojave Counseling).

The practice differentiates on academic medical center capabilities: a Da Vinci robotic surgery program with a recognized pioneer in robotic reconstructive surgery; ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release using the Sonex device; and membership in the Lupus Clinical Investigators Network for clinical trial access. Distribution is multi-modal: owned multi-specialty clinics, three community mental health training clinics, school-based health centers in two CCSD buildings serving students ages 3-21 free of charge, telehealth video visits, and a MyChart patient portal. The go-to-market is primarily regional Southern Nevada with academic and community partners (UMC teaching hospital, Volunteers in Medicine of Southern Nevada, Shannon West Homeless Youth Center, CareSource Foundation).

Revenue is generated from clinical patient services billed to Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers; federal and foundation research grants; and institutional graduate medical education funding. The practice does not publish revenue, but its parent UNLV Academic Health Center reports $38M in research awards, $11M in research expenditures, $1M+ in state appropriations, and $9M+ in annual philanthropy, alongside 230,000+ clinical visits, 320+ publications per year, and 630 annual student graduates. The strategic posture is consistent with an academic mission: addressing Nevada's severe physician shortage, expanding specialty access (cleft/craniofacial, rheumatology, endocrinology, maternal-fetal medicine), and embedding community service in underserved populations.
