One of the Healthiest Places to Live

Grant County has been recognized as “one of the healthiest places to live” since the late 1800s. A holistic healing philosophy abounds, and quality services range from the modern technology of the local hospital to homeopathic care, bodywork and locally produced herbal products. Gila Regional Medical Center, located in Silver City, is one of the newest and most modern healthcare facilities in New Mexico. The center serves Grant, Hidalgo, Catron and Luna counties.

Known for its excellent medical staff, state-of-the-art imaging equipment, broad continuum of quality services and national award-winning community outreach programs, Gila Regional is the only hospital in New Mexico to be accepted as a Planetree Affiliate Hospital — a designation given to facilities committed to providing patient-centered care in a healing environment. “Patient dignity gowns,” a labyrinth for meditative walks, pet therapy, increased patient education, longer visiting hours, and bread baking on patient units are new components of the Planetree program at Gila Regional Medical Center.

The emergency department (staffed by around-the-clock

emergency-medicine trained physicians) includes specially designed treatment rooms for trauma patients, cardiac, obstetrical, orthopedic, ear/nose/throat, dental, and even hazardous material emergencies.

An intensive care unit, behavioral health unit, chemotherapy unit, respiratory department, rapidly expanding surgery center, highly respected laboratory, and a wide range of home health services are also available.
