Something Special

A community takes pride and is reassured in knowing certain resources are available and on the ready to care for it's health and medical concerns. The University of New Mexico Sandoval Regional Medical Center (UNM SRMC) is one of those invaluable resources the people of Rio Rancho and Sandoval County of New Mexico have in place. All of the planning, building, setting the stage for this medical center is now being realized. 

The healing grounds face the East with a clear and panoramic view of the beautiful and rugged Sandia Mountains. The sight is fantastic and immediately one can feel and see something special about this corner of the world. The brilliant light and big sky surrounding the hospital blend together perfectly in the high desert as innovative research and state of the art medical technology blaze trails in the Northern end of Rio Rancho. Quality health care and medical education are at the forefront as General Medicine practitioners and specialist's provide hope and help in Obstetrics and Gynecology care, Geriatric services, Orthopedics, Non-invasive Cardiology testing and treatment to Behavioral Health support, Emergency Medicine, a Radiology Department, classrooms, clinics and laboratories.

As a teaching hospital it is possible for an individual to go from patient or visitor to student learning a specialty providing care to the people who pass through the doors. UNM SRMC is a treasure put in place by the community itself, it is a landmark of excellence, an important presence in the lives of those who can count on it being there when the need arises to diagnose, repair, teach and rely on far into the future.

"I Guess Things Are Gonne Be Just Fine, If We Only Will"!

A hospital is an important reflection of the people who use it, who develop and maintain it, who contribute to the quality of it's existence. The organization serves as an active, thriving community, constantly on the move, growing, lending it's resources to those who require them. An  orchestrated presence, blending and complimenting key elements to make it all work. It is an ongoing cooperative, like a band of musicians, the singers harmonize with the sound of the instruments, the rhythm, melody and beat all in sync to create a masterful and brilliant work of art and science!

Words can be hard to live by,

               but still nice to hear.

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.

Port In The Storm

A medical center is like a treasure chest of resources available to the public, in the name of good health. People look upon hospitals as a port in a storm, an oasis in the desert, a beacon in the night, rescuer and refuge. A medical facility holds many a possible cure, prevention, detection and answer to a wide range of problems. The potential to make a difference, sometimes between life and death- for many people, is always in place as the new Sandoval Regional Med Center prepares to  make a profound impact on the lives of the patients and visitors as well as students, teachers, researchers, staff, faculty and administrators. *It takes a village and very dedicated people to raise a hospital, especially since the hospital is such an important part of the village and represents a microcosm of the world.

The new University of New Mexico Hospital in Rio Rancho is shaping-up and stands stately near Rio Rancho City Hall, Rio Rancho High School and the thriving city.
The public medical center will be home to a state of art School of Pharmacy, Speciality Clinics and Therapeutic Departments, Hospital services range from Behavioral Health, Medical and Surgical to a wide array of learning and career development opportunities for the community.
