Children’s ER Opens at Siena Campus as Free Heart Screening Wraps in Henderson
Henderson, NV – March 7, 2026 – A new children’s ER is now open at Siena Campus, while a free heart-risk screening event concludes in Henderson.
Families in Henderson now have access to a dedicated pediatric emergency department at St. Rose Dominican Hospital’s Siena Campus, marking a significant expansion of local hospital services. The opening comes as a free heart-risk screening event in the city wraps up this weekend.
Dedicated Pediatric Emergency Care
St. Rose Dominican Hospital’s Siena Campus has opened a children-only emergency department at its St. Rose Parkway location. Hospital officials said the new unit is separate from the adult emergency department and staffed by clinicians trained specifically in pediatric care.
The pediatric ER is designed to better serve infants, children and teens, with equipment and treatment spaces tailored to younger patients. Hospital representatives have emphasized that children can show symptoms differently than adults and may require age-specific evaluation and monitoring.
The Children’s ER operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, providing around-the-clock emergency access for families in Henderson and surrounding communities.
Free Lp(a) Heart-Risk Screening Concludes
A free lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), screening event is scheduled to conclude today at Prestige Banquet and Event Center on Whitney Ranch Drive. Organizers describe Lp(a) as a cholesterol-related particle that is largely genetic and not typically included in routine cholesterol testing.
The event has offered residents an opportunity to learn more about their potential cardiovascular risk without cost or insurance requirements. Health organizations generally encourage participants to share any screening results with their regular clinician as part of an overall heart health review, especially for those with a personal or family history of early heart disease.
Ongoing HIV and STI Testing Access
The Henderson Equality Center continues to promote walk-in HIV testing and sexually transmitted infection screening through its wellness clinic. The center also provides information and support services related to PrEP, a preventive medication for HIV.
Public health agencies note that many sexually transmitted infections can be present without symptoms, making routine testing an important part of preventive care for sexually active individuals.
What Residents Should Know
Residents seeking emergency care for children can now access a dedicated pediatric ER within city limits. Those who participated in recent screenings or testing events are encouraged to keep copies of their results for future medical visits. For broader public health advisories, the Southern Nevada Health District maintains updated guidance for Clark County communities.
