Watching and Waiting

The new UNM Sandoval County Regional Medical Center continues to grow at the same strong and steady pace that Rio Rancho itself has been growing over the past 10 years. Every detail is being addressed now to ensure the 200,00 sq ft medical center and additional 40,000 sq ft near-by, medical office is staffed, equipped, and prepared to offer state of the art health care to those who need it.
From six large operating rooms to over a dozen intensive care rooms and behavioral crisis intervention facilities. The hospital's five stories will be home to a trauma and emergency department, joint replacement and obesity management services and women's health services. Well over 400 employees will be hired to operate and manage the hospital.

Kevin Rogols, SCRMC CEO consulted with the American Indian pueblos and chapter houses regarding the artwork that will line the walls and welcome patients, visitors and staff. Tribal art will be seen in prominent places throughout the facility.

In the meantime we watch with eager anticipation and wait with patience for the project to be complete, in the Summer of 2012.
