ABOUT VALLEY HEALTH PHYSICIAN ALLIANCE

Las Vegas is known internationally as a major resort city often known for its gambling, shopping, entertainment, and nightlife. Although Las Vegas identifies as “The Entertainment Capital of the World” and is famous for The Strip and its mega casino-hotels, there is so much more to life in the Valley. From the lovely Summerlin area adjacent to Red Rock Canyon, to the beautifully developed Green Valley area set away from the hustle and bustle of The Strip, there are many wonderful communities of people and families who call Las Vegas home. Backing the communities across our region is an ever-growing and ever-strengthening healthcare system.
