MountainView Regional Medical Center in Las Cruces, N.M., has announced plans to build a 10-bed, roughly 11,500-square-foot standalone emergency care center, according to an article on the Las Cruces Sun-News website.
This will be the first free-standing emergency department in Las Cruces, and the first in New Mexico, allowing residents in northeast Las Cruces to access emergency services 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the article said
The new facility will also provide some relief for the two crowded emergency rooms currently in operation at MountainView and Memorial Medical Center.
The freestanding emergency department will have 10 private patient rooms with radiology, respiratory therapy and lab services on-site.
