About Us
We work hard to provide high quality care that’s continuously recognized for excellence. It’s why so many in our community trust us for their care. And it’s why we are the center of healthcare for Southern New Mexico.
We don’t just care for you. We care about you. That’s the Memorial Difference.
About Memorial Medical Center
Located in the Mesilla Valley of southern New Mexico - between the stunning Organ Mountains and the rambling Rio Grande - Memorial Medical Center serves the more than 300,000 residents of Las Cruces, Doña Ana County, and the surrounding region. We offer a spectrum of care to our patients, including diagnostic, therapeutic, and rehabilitative services, both on an inpatient and outpatient basis.
Nothing is more important to us than patient safety and delivering the highest quality care.
