40 Under 40: Meghan Fitzgibbons, Practice Director of Cardiovascular Services, Desert Region, Intermountain Health

Meghan Fitzgibbons

As the health care landscape in Las Vegas grows, its reputation in cardiac care has made huge strides. Much of that growth is due to the leadership of Meghan Fitzgibbons.

A former critical care nurse from Boston, Fitzgibbons relocated to Las Vegas in 2018 and grew into leadership roles at MountainView Hospital. There, she helped the hospital’s Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement program achieve a distinguished 3-star rating from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons and the American College of Cardiology.

Her background in clinical and data management, coupled with business leadership skills she acquired while completing UNLV’s Executive MBA program in 2022, has made her uniquely qualified for her current role at Intermountain Health.

Fitzgibbons led operations for a specialized heart failure clinic within Intermountain’s La Canada Cardiology clinic. This provides care to heart failure patients that is not only exceptional but also cost effective, delivering treatment at roughly 2% of the typical $15,000 price tag.
