Memorial Minute - January 29, 2019

January 29, 2019

This weekend I was in Santa Fe along with our Chief Operating Officer, Steve Ruwoldt, and our Chief Nursing Officer, Caryn Iverson, to represent the interests of Southern New Mexico to the new legislators and Governor. Memorial is proud to be one of the major sponsors of the Greater Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce annual event, Las Cruces Days in Santa Fe. We feel that it is very important for those who govern our state to be aware of issues that affect our economy and, most certainly, access to health care in our region.

Memorial provides a full variety of imaging services in three locations and the images are read by an outstanding new team of Diagnostic Radiologists. This new diagnostic team provides fast turn-around on imaging reads with a high level of accuracy. Memorial Imaging Center of Las Cruces is located at 150 Roadrunner Parkway, and the comfortable, private, women-only Women’s Imaging Center, located at the Memorial HealthPlex at 2735 Northrise.

Starting with this issue, I will be writing a weekly update we’re calling “Memorial Minute” instead of the monthly multi-page Memorial CEO Newsletter I have been sending in the past. Most of us start our day, or end it, with a look at news briefs on our mobile device. Just as the major news sources now send Twitter updates and news briefs which allow you to grab the news at a glance, we have decided to send out Memorial updates in a quick-read, single page, once-a-week format. We hope you like this new, abbreviated format.

December 2018 CEO Newsletter

December 20, 2018

We are now approaching the end of 2018, and the completion of my fifth year as CEO of Memorial Medical Center. “Quality” and ”Safety” have been the guiding priorities in every decision that I’ve made in each of the last five years. These priorities apply not only to our patients but to our very valued employees as well. We are an integrated team composed of our Board of Trustees, medical staff and employees who actively support each other in the provision of high quality care, and a safe working environment. I have promised the people of Las Cruces and Southern New Mexico that Memorial Medical Center will evolve from a community hospital to an integrated regional medical referral center.

November 2018 CEO Newsletter

November 20, 2018

I love this time a year! It is a special time to celebrate with both my family at home, and my family at Memorial Medical Center. It is a time of thanksgiving. In November 2013, five years ago this month, I had the honor of becoming the CEO of Memorial Medical Center. I am extremely proud of the accomplishments of our Board of Trustees, medical staff and employees throughout the Memorial healthcare system, who have dedicated themselves to ”making our community healthier”.
