In our own words
I decided to work for UNMH because of the mission . . . we have an amazing academic research center here that doesn’t turn anybody away. And so, everybody here, regardless of ability to pay, regardless of psychosocial barriers, gets access to health care—and that’s why I stay.

Our History
Tracing our roots to 1954, the facility now called UNMH opened as the only hospital dedicated to serving local Native Americans. Today, our links to the Native American community remain strong, with Native American heritage celebrated daily, continued partnerships and support including language services, outreach and priority access for admissions and appointments.
We are proud to be New Mexico’s hospital—homegrown, public and supportive of all who live and work here. Taking good care of patients and families is what drives us, and our mission ensures we’ll continue to deliver more to everyone we encounter.
Our Beginnings — 1952
Our federal contract outlines our dedication to providing high-quality health care for Native Americans in our community.
Our Founding — 1954
Our storied history begins in earnest as we open our doors as the Bernalillo County Indian Hospital.
A New Role — 1964
We become the University of New Mexico’s teaching facility. In 1969, UNM assumes official operations of the hospital.
Elevated Capabilities — 1983
We achieve Level 1 Trauma Center status, to this day the only facility in the state with this designation.
Expanding Our Care — 2007
With the opening of the Barbara & Bill Richardson Pavilion, we add nearly 500,000 square feet of space, including an expanded emergency department and the UNM Children's Hospital.
Breaking Ground — 2021
Work begins on our Critical Care Tower, which will increase our capacity and empower our teams with a state-of-the-art environment.
