3. Henderson Hospital NICU closure days away (8newsnow.com) — Families in the Las Vegas valley should know that Henderson Hospital's neonatal intensive care unit will stop accepting new patients on September 30, shifting emergency deliveries to the ER and pushing fragile newborns to more distant NICUs.
