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 ~

August

Another month gone as another month waits in the wings. It is only a matter of hours before we get the chance to kind of reboot, start something over or begin a new project or endeavor. It is a month of change and adjusting to different things we may or may not like but still needs to happen. School, appointments, places to be, people to meet and greet, maybe comfort or commiserate with. 

We try to make the best of every day gifted to us, to be better, blessed and a blessing.

May the new month of August bring you joy, peace, comfort and good health. ☮

Joy & Pain


Joy is a jewel, a sparkly slice of life that smears smiles on people's faces. Joy warms the heart and nourishes the soul, it tugs on your heartstrings, can make you cry and laugh, giggle and feel good all over. Pain is raw and strikes indiscriminantly at the young and old, boys and girls, men and women of all ages, it can leave as quickly as it appears or linger and loiter in the body and mind oblivious to it's unwanted presence. Joy and Pain are opposites felt, seen and heard in obvious manner, sometimes invisible as it moves about with reckless abandon.

Pain bites hard, it punctures, the sting is sharp, also quick to come and go without warning, unannounced like an obnoxious uninvited guest. Emotional or mental pain can be silent or exude deafening screams as it runs rampant and out of control. Each hot tear begs for relief from the intruding tangles, tears, breaks, burns, blocks, ruptures.You scramble for ways to rid yourself of any pain or anguish.

The joy of seeing a child happy and healthy after surviving a life threatening illness, a therapist helping someone breakthrough a former limitation, someone being appreciated for their help, good news about long awaited test results or completing a job well done while improving the quality of someones life in the process. Joy is an elixar of life!

At the end of the day it is comfort, peace, big and little, subtle and spectacular things and moments that bring you joy, outweighs the pain and make life more livable, happier and healthy.

Pavilion

The new hospital stands stoically in the high desert, it represents hope for many reasons to many people as it provides comfort and healing for years to come.

Like an oasis in the desert, a port in the storm, a multi-layered, large and lovely kaleidoscope, a hospital is also symbolic of great resources like a treasure chest filled with precious gems. Invaluable as it's own acute care facilities. The priceless gems at Sandoval Regional Medical Center include a 55,000 sq. ft. Pavilion that will be home to medical and administrative offices and plenty of space for medical education. The pavilion will also house the supply area, the cafeteria and dining room. The Specialty Medical and Surgical Clinics will be home to a wide range of departments. Family Medicine to Rheumatology, Physical Therapy, Ophthalmology to Gynecology. It is a massive pool of the best and the brightest medical practitioners in the area. It will quickly prove to be most valuable to people who will gladly and eagerly make it a point to get acquainted with this state of the art, world class health care haven.
