Eastern New Mexico Medical Ctr sits in Roswell, NM, and runs as a 162-bed licensed medical and surgical hospital that covers a whole lot of ground when it comes to taking care of folks, and it offers different kinds of care from family medicine and walk-in clinics, like the one in Artesia, all the way to specialized heart care led by a cardiologist named Dr. Eric Cohen, plus offerings in areas like OB/GYN, sleep medicine, allergy, immunology, endocrinology, orthopedic surgery, pediatrics, podiatry, and more, and it's got departments full of specialists who can handle both day-to-day needs and bigger emergencies. The Imaging Center takes diagnostic pictures for different tests, there's a Cancer Treatment Center with full oncology and radiation therapy, and the hospital covers both inpatient and outpatient care, so people can come in and get seen for just about anything from diabetes to stroke to psychiatric concerns, since there's even a skilled nursing unit and a separate inpatient psychiatric unit as well.
You'll find care for things like back pain, asthma, COPD, depression, high blood pressure, various kinds of cancer, skin problems including psoriasis, and rheumatoid arthritis, and they deal with emergencies such as diabetic crises, sepsis, bowel blockages, and pneumonia, plus they have a neurosurgery focus especially for things like stroke and brain inflammation, and the orthopedic side handles things like knee replacements, hip fracture care, and shoulder surgery, with Mohs surgery for skin concerns, and cataract work too. They've set up free joint pain assessments and heart health checks, and they're careful about preventing unwanted complications, like blood clots or infections after surgery, while discharge staff makes sure to explain medications and next steps for people leaving the hospital, and the rooms keep an eye on cleanliness and quiet.
The Center is part of the AllianceHealth Oklahoma group, with specialty clinics under the Eastern New Mexico Medical Group umbrella, ranging from cardiovascular specialists to ENT, allergy, primary care, gastroenterology, interventional cardiology and vascular medicine, OB/GYN specialists, orthopedic foot and ankle folks, and telehealth is possible for certain care. Over 150 healthcare professionals and 26 doctors and mid-level providers from 11 medical areas work here, and there's also a family medicine residency program and a rural health clinic so they're working to train new doctors as well. They support research and select new treatments with a medical advisory board, and the whole place keeps records clean for public safety ratings.
The Joint Commission has given its stamp of approval, and the hospital is open to both scheduled and emergency visits, including urgent care with a promise of less waiting. They keep services open for women's health, maternity, surgical needs, heart and stroke care, behavioral health, mental health and substance misuse, and specialty children's services. Patients can use a portal for their medical records, some appointments can be set up online, and while the patient experience rating sits at 55%, which is a bit lower than the national average, staff here do work closely with patients and family to explain medicines, answer questions, and listen to concerns, trying to make transitions from hospital to home as safe as can be.
