The Organization

UNM Health is New Mexico's only Level I Trauma Center—we care for patients with the most complex conditions from across the state. We are home to the only Burn Center in New Mexico, and we are the first NIH-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center and award-winning Advanced Care Stroke Center.

UNM Health providers specialize in over 150 areas of medicine and employ over 7,000 professionals. Together, we receive 900,000 outpatient visits, 22,000 surgical cases and 100,000 emergency room visits each year.

UNM Health provides the highest quality of care for more than 200,000 New Mexicans each year. In 1952, UNM Hospital was built on Native American grounds, with the promise to provide culturally competent and inclusive care to all New Mexicans.

Since then, UNM Health has followed through with their mission of accessible, affordable care. UNM Health provided over $44 million in charitable care and financial assistance for services not covered by insurance or federal programs in 2018.

To extend the reach of our mission, we have implemented services and programs to care for patients across the state, including:

  • Priority access to care for Native Americans
  • LGBTQ+ care recognized by the Human Rights Campaign Healthcare Equality Index
  • Telehealth options
  • Health Hub

The UNM Hospital Community Engagement (UNMHCE) department contributes to the overall well-being of the communities we serve to achieve positive health impact and outcomes through community engagement.
