Welcome to the UNM Health System—New Mexico’s only academic medical center and a health care leader in patient care, medical training and research.

Compassionate, Respectful Care: The UNM Difference

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
Free, 24/7 interpreter language services
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. Learn more about UNM Health's community engagement here.
