Las Cruces, NM – MountainView Regional Medical Center is bringing the Emergency Room to you. An open house celebration will be held on Saturday, November 4 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm at 2811 N. Main Street. The event is free to the community and will feature tours, a teddy bear clinic, education, family-friendly activities and refreshments, including cheesecake.
“MountainView is blessed to be able to provide high quality emergency care to northeast Las Cruces,” said Denten Park, Chief Executive Officer at MountainView Regional Medical Center. “Minutes matter, and if you are having an emergency, our team will be there to care for you.”
MountainView Emergency Center will be equipped to treat patients with illnesses and injuries that require a higher level of care than urgent care facilities offer. The free-standing emergency department has 10 private patient rooms with radiology and lab services on site. It is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Many emergent conditions can be effectively managed at free-standing emergency departments without the need for transfer to a traditional hospital setting. This new facility will add peace of mind to nearby residents that immediate help is closer.
MountainView Regional Medical Center has invested more than $10 million in this new Emergency Center. Nearly 40 new local jobs have been created to serve patients, including doctors, registered nurses, lab, imaging, admitting and environmental services staff. This is the most recent effort MountainView has made to improve emergency services in Dona Ana County. In July 2016, the hospital completed a $5 million expansion and renovation of its main campus emergency department, expanding from 10 beds to 22 beds.
