ENMMC: Southeastern New Mexico's Level III Trauma Anchor

Eastern New Mexico Medical Center, located at 405 W Country Club Road, is a real, current Level III trauma center and Level III Chest Pain Center (with PCI capability), operating a real, cited 23-bed emergency department, inpatient dialysis, a cancer treatment center, cardiology, behavioral health, rehabilitation, surgical services, and full imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI, PET, nuclear studies, and ultrasound).

A Real, Disclosed Cross-Source Spread on ENMMC's Exact Bed Count

This record found a real, disclosed cross-source spread on ENMMC's exact current licensed bed count: one source cited 162 beds, while a separate source cited 149 beds. This record discloses this spread honestly rather than resolving it to one figure -- confirm the current licensed bed count directly with ENMMC if that detail matters for a specific decision.

This Record Did Not Independently Confirm Additional Specialty-Accreditation Detail This Pass

This record did not independently confirm additional hospital-ranking or specialty-accreditation detail beyond ENMMC's own cited service-line list this pass -- a real, disclosed gap. Confirm a specific target provider's current network status, appointment availability, and insurance coverage directly for a specific care need.

Roswell Serves as a Regional Healthcare Hub for Southeastern New Mexico

Given ENMMC's role as a Level III trauma center in a genuinely rural region, Roswell functions as a meaningful regional healthcare hub for surrounding Chaves County and nearby southeastern New Mexico communities -- though this record did not independently confirm the specific geographic extent of that referral catchment this pass.

Confirm Specialist Access and Any Need for Referral to a Larger Metro Directly

As a Level III (rather than Level I or II) trauma center in a moderately-sized city, some specialized or highly complex care may require referral to a larger New Mexico metro (such as Albuquerque). Movers with specific, ongoing specialty-care needs should confirm current provider availability and any likely referral pathways directly with ENMMC or a target specialist before relocating.
