Rio Rancho on the Move

Friday August 2, 2008 was the day of the Inauguration of the new Presbyterian Rio Rancho Medical Center. Presbyterian broke ground on their new $200,000,000, hospital which will employ 200 physicians and 1200 full-time employees. It will include 2-6 story towers in which patients will be treated. The hospital will be located just North of the Bernallilo/Sandoval county line in Rio Rancho, NM just East of Unser Blvd.This is one of many facilities planned to be built in the burgeoning community North and West of Albuquerque,NM. Presbyterian has a vision of the future of this facility to be larger than the main campus in Downtown Albuquerque. The new Westside hospital will have parking as well. It is located to the South of the Cabezon subdivision.This ceremony rides on the recent announcements of new movie studios to be built along with UNM West campus, CNM, UNM Hospital West and the most recent announcement of a Hewlett Packard service facility.Congratulations to the people of Rio Rancho.
