Larry and Heidi Canarelli have committed $50 million toward Nevada's first comprehensive, stand-alone children's hospital. The Las Vegas Sun reported on October 6, 2026, that Intermountain Health will name the inpatient tower for them. The tower is scheduled to open in 2030 with 180 beds and room to grow to 228. Planned services include a trauma center, an emergency department, a high-level newborn intensive care unit, pediatric intensive care, a cancer center, behavioral health, and a child-abuse treatment center.
The hospital is planned for UNLV's Harry Reid Research and Technology Park in southwest Las Vegas. The gift advances Intermountain's Nevada Campaign for Kids. It is construction money for a building that is not open yet, not a report on patients already treated there.
