Intermountain Health’s Meghan Fitzgibbons Named to Vegas Inc.’s 40 Under 40 Award List
Vegas Inc. released their 2025 “40 Under 40” award list that honors 42 people from many sectors in the Las Vegas area and Meghan Fitzgibbons, practice director for cardiovascular services in Las Vegas for Intermountain Health, was named to the prestigious list.
The publication lists that the honorees “are the performers, real estate agents, doctors, teachers, philanthropists, leaders and changemakers who make the community one of diversity, growth and vibrancy.”
Fitzgibbons career with Intermountain Health began in 2023 as the first nurse manager for cardiology in Nevada, before she quickly found herself in leadership roles in cardiology for Intermountain's Desert Region – which serves Nevada and Southwest Utah.
“I have worked with thousands of health care professionals and many clinical leaders throughout my career and where Meghan stands out is her fierce determination to know, her indomitable drive to do, and her genuine concern of who she’s doing it for,” said James Neider, executive director with Intermountain’s medical group. “She can talk the talk with legal, strategy, accounting, medical, clinical, virtually every heath care discipline. She works tirelessly and yields highly valuable results. I’m very grateful to be able to work with her and learn from her each day.”
The drive for a healthcare career began as a child she said as her mother had significant health challenges when she was little that kept her in the hospital for considerable time.
“The nurses in the hospital made going there to see her not at all scary, and even rather fun for my sister and I – everything they did to take care of us and my mum seemed like magic, and I wanted to be part of that,” Fitzgibbons said.
Her focus on her career and leadership has been about helping ease the burdens from her teams to keep focus on patient care.
“As rewarding as working at the front lines of healthcare can be, it’s also very hard work. Simplifying processes and removing barriers to make it as easy as possible my teams to do their jobs, to achieve clinical excellence, and be able to spend as much meaningful face time with patients and their families as possible is my goal,” Fitzgibbons said.
She received her award at Vegas Inc's annual ceremony and is honored in the publication.
“Earning this award is honestly such an honor, and I was honestly quite speechless when I got the initial notification that I had been selected as a 2025 Honoree,” Fitzgibbons said. “To me, it’s a profound recognition that the community honors and respects the work we are doing to change and improve the landscape of healthcare in Las Vegas.”
