UNM Hospitals

What UNM Hospitals does

UNM Hospitals (University of New Mexico Hospital) is a public academic medical center and the only Level 1 Trauma Center in the state of New Mexico, headquartered in Albuquerque. Founded in 1954 and affiliated with the University of New Mexico, it operates across multiple campuses including the Lomas Campus in Albuquerque, the SRMC campus in Rio Rancho, and a Gallup location serving western New Mexico. The hospital employs 5,001-10,000 staff, including more than 400 Advanced Practice professionals, and currently lists 465 open positions. It delivers comprehensive inpatient, outpatient, emergency, trauma, behavioral health, and diagnostic imaging services, performing nearly 300,000 radiology and imaging procedures annually.

Its core technology platform centers on a new Critical Care Tower with 18 operating rooms, a six-room radiology suite, and two hybrid-capable ORs enabling complex minimally invasive image-guided surgery. The Radiology department offers advanced modalities including CT, MRI, nuclear medicine, mammography, interventional radiology, and a recently launched PET/CT fusion imaging service for Alzheimer's amyloid plaque detection using an FDA-approved radioactive diagnostic agent. The Memory & Aging Clinic, Critical Care Tower, Behavioral Health Services (the state's largest community mental health provider, including the only neuromodulation program for treatment-resistant conditions in New Mexico), and an ANCC-accredited Nurse Residency Program constitute the principal service lines.

UNM Hospitals generates revenue through professional healthcare services delivered directly to patients across its facilities, with payer mix dominated by state Medicaid, Medicare, commercial insurance, and self-pay populations. As a state-owned public teaching hospital, it operates regardless of ability to pay, with financial assistance programs in place. It is governed as part of the UNM Health System under state and university oversight, with no private equity or venture capital ownership. Its go-to-market is direct-to-patient through facility-based care delivery, and its employer brand is marketed through a dedicated careers site (unmhjobs.com) and social channels to support recruitment rather than patient acquisition.
