This facility has been on news outlets for years in which their own staff conducts protests regularly in regard to the continued lack of staffing and unsafe conditions. They are a union hospital with SEIU. I have personally spoke to their nursing, CNA, dietary, and respiratory staff in regard to the hospitals lack of support and lack of providing safe conditions to their staff. They gave a NICU nurse 6 patients and said its OK for the CNA to feed them all. This is wrong and unsafe for the child since the nurse is supposed to be assessing the child while feeding. I was removed by security (2019) with no valid reason because I kept asking why my sickle cell patient had to constantly be delayed with his medications. The patient recorded this dispute with security because they were not properly treating the patient medically and refusing the patient to have an advocate.

This facility is part of HCA and they too have an issue with understaffing. I had a patient that almost died here because she was not heard by her physician and ended up at Centennial Hills which is a UHS facility to be told she would have died had she not come in. Several of our patients that are sickle cell had issues galore with this place not getting their pain medications on time and keeping them longer than needed. They rank 62% for their hospital grade in 2020. The following link will show you their most current issues under hospital quality: Sunrise Hospital And Medical Center – Las Vegas, NV | Healthgrades
