Over 100 physicians and 200 nurses from across the Sunrise Health System went to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center on October 1, 2017. No one asked them, they just showed up ready to help.
We're so proud of our team and all those in our community that offered support, help and care on this day.

Today, we remember the lives forever changed by the tragedy of Oct. 1, 2017.

We honor those who died, those who survived and the families whose lives were changed that night. We also remember the first responders, medical teams and countless others who came together to care for our community.

At Sunrise Hospital and Sunrise Children's Hospital, our care teams treated more than 250 patients that night. Colleagues at MountainView Hospital and Southern Hills Hospital and Medical Center also mobilized people, supplies and support to help care for the injured — a coordinated response that reflected the skill, compassion and dedication of healthcare teams across our community.

Nine years later, we continue to remember the courage, selflessness and humanity shown in the hours and days that followed. We honor the strength and resilience of Las Vegas and all those who continue to heal.

We are . We are . 🧡

Congratulations to Nelly Chow, MD! 👏

We’re proud to celebrate Dr. Chow on being featured in the LV HEALS Physician Spotlight!

This well-deserved recognition highlights Dr. Chow and her commitment to caring for patients and serving our Southern Nevada community. We’re grateful to have physicians like Dr. Chow making a meaningful impact on the health and well-being of those we serve.

Congratulations, Dr. Chow, on this wonderful recognition!

❤️ The best heart operation is the one that never becomes necessary.

We’re proud to see Nelly P. Chow, DO, Cardiothoracic Surgeon with MountainView Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery Associates, featured in Las Vegas HEALS Magazine, sharing an important message about cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and the power of prevention.

One of the challenges with coronary artery disease is that it can develop silently for years. Someone may feel healthy while elevated LDL cholesterol and other risk factors are gradually contributing to plaque buildup in the arteries.

In her article, Dr. Chow explains why knowing your cholesterol numbers matter and why family history, genetics and recognizing less-obvious symptoms of heart disease, particularly in women, should be part of the conversation. Her message is an important one: prevention begins long before symptoms appear.

We’re proud to have Dr. Chow sharing her expertise with our Las Vegas community and helping raise awareness about the steps we can all take toward better cardiovascular health.
