Welcome!

After attending the ground breaking ceremony in October, 2010, Mary Ellen Ipiotis was inspired to create a BLOG about the massive desert rose sprouting forth on sacred grounds in Sandoval County.

C'mon in! Please make yourself at home. Join me with your commentary, questions, stories, photos, video's, any information you would like to share... about the new medical center, the land it is on, the people and places in the area, anything you think people would like to know.

Mary Ellen is listening and will be on the look out for you ~

Sunni Marie and Winnie

Driving around Rio Rancho, you never know what or who you're gonna see. Here's a photo taken of a couple of good doggie-dog's and gal pals, Sunnie Marie in the snappy orange bandanna and Wiinie, looking good in  vibrant yellow. This was a photo opportunity of the highest order and we were lucky to have a camera handy to capture the moment. Even luckier the girls didn't seem too bothered by the paparazzi.

A Hospital on The Horizon

The seeds have been planted, the ground breaks, the foundation set with hope for the future. Good health care harkens closer with every new day and night, every spellbinding dawn and spectacular sunset. Another chance to be better and stronger then the day before.

Work has begun on The UNM Sandoval Regional Medical Center. A hospital for the community, by the community and with the community. The Sandia Mountains frames the landscape as the massive desert rose emerges at a strong and steady pace. People prepare it's way, planning, building, anticipating much goodness, healing, learning, teaching, ready willing and able.
