It’s probably no secret to anyone that, on average, women take a more proactive approach to their health than men do. That historic imbalance reveals its sobering effects in the facts.

Memorial Medical Center is one of the largest of 72 LifePoint Health hospitals across the country and had the pleasure of hosting senior leadership from Nashville on May 18th. They were here to experience first-hand our commitment to patient care and safety and see the opportunity we have to expand quality care across Southern New Mexico.

We are celebrating two very distinct honors this month, and I couldn’t be more proud. At the end of January, the Las Cruces Sun News announced the winners in their annual Readers Choice poll and once again, for 13 out of the last 14 years, Memorial won Favorite Hospital. It is a unique honor to be selected as number one by the public.
