Congratulations to our implanting physicians and cardiac teams for 500+ left atrial appendage (LAAC) device implant procedures!

Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a type of heart arrhythmia that can lead to blood pooling in the left atrial appendage (LAA), also known as a sac located at the top of the heart’s upper left chamber. The pooling blood can cause clots to form, increasing the risk of stroke.

Our facility was among the first hospitals in the region to offer an alternative to long-term medication, with a new left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) device. The LAAO device closes the opening to the LAA so blood cannot collect there. Over time, you may be able to stop taking blood thinners.

Ask your cardiologist if this procedure might work for you. In need of a physician? Can our Physician Referral line: 855-790-3627 (DOCS)

We are committed to making our communities safer and healthier. In an effort to raise awareness of the dangers of prescription drug misuse and importance of safe disposal, we’re joining HCA Healthcare hospitals across the nation for our seventh annual Crush the Crisis Prescription Drug Take Back Day. The event, which coincides with the Drug Enforcement Administration - DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, offers the community an opportunity to safely and anonymously dispose of medications that may be unused from previous procedures or other medical visits.

In 2024, HCA Healthcare joined local law enforcement at 125 collection sites to collect and properly dispose of more than 21,000 pounds of unused or expired medications – the equivalent of an estimated 14.5 million doses.

Positively impacting our community takes teamwork. Help us on Saturday, October 25, 2025, by safely and anonymously dropping off your medications at MountainView Hospital, 3100 N. Tenaya Way from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.. Learn more: https://bit.ly/42zbWiv.

Meet Jeffrey — a true fighter. 💪❤️

Over the past few years, Jeffrey has faced blood cancer three times. When he was first diagnosed in 2019, he had to travel all the way to California just to access the life-saving treatment he needed — a journey that brought emotional and financial challenges on top of an already devastating diagnosis.

But everything changed when his cancer returned in 2022.

That’s when your local healthcare, Sunrise Health System, stepped in. Thanks to the incredible team at the Sarah Cannon Transplant & Cellular Therapy Program at MountainView Hospital, Jeffrey became one of the first patients in Nevada to receive advanced, specialized treatment — right here at home.

Twice now, Jeffrey has fought back with the help of our team. And twice, he’s shown what courage really looks like.

We’re honored to be part of his journey. 💙
