Nevada operations, which include 14 urgent care centers in Las Vegas.
The 14 centers join HCA’s Sunrise Health System in Las Vegas, which
includes four hospitals and four surgery centers. The purchase also
includes six additional urgent care centers that are under development
in the market.
“This acquisition adds a strong network of leading urgent care centers
to our Las Vegas network and complements our presence in the market,”
said Sam Hazen, HCA’s chief operating officer. “Additionally, the
acquisition builds on HCA’s strategy to improve patient access to our
healthcare system in the markets we serve.”

centers in various markets.
The Urgent Care Extra centers provide a full spectrum of services,
including on-site exams, laboratory testing, medical weight loss
programs, occupational health services, sports physicals, vaccinations,
workers’ compensation services and x-rays.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
