Health care is a business. Of course it is. We know this to be true, but in times like these, it is easy to forget. As we read about area hospitals gearing up for the battle of their lives  —  and our lives  —  we aren't thinking about profit margins or market share.

Effective at 7 p.m. today, CHRISTUS St. Vincent’s Southside 24-Hour Emergency Room, located at 5501 Herrera Drive, will be closed. All emergency personnel have been reassigned to the main hospital emergency department at 455. St. Michael’s Drive to assist in our community response to COVID-19.

CHRISTUS St. Vincent is pleased to announce that Randy Grissom has joined the organization as Interim President of the St. Vincent Hospital Foundation.

While CHRISTUS St. Vincent continues to work to provide care and treatment for all of our patients, we are also working hard each day to reduce the risk of potential exposure to COVID-19.

Out of an abundance of caution and in an effort to contain the continued spread of COVID-19, effective Monday, March 23, there will be a new set of visitor restrictions put into place.

Mientras CHRISTUS St. Vincent continúa trabajando para brindar atención y tratamiento a todos nuestros pacientes, también estamos trabajando duro cada día para reducir el riesgo de exposición potencial a COVID-19.

Por mayor precaución y en un esfuerzo por contener la propagación continua de COVID-19, a partir del lunes 23 de marzo, se pondrán en marcha un nuevo conjunto de restricciones de visitantes.

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and the New Mexico Department of Health on Wednesday announced that three New Mexico residents tested presumptive positive for COVID-19, the first confirmed cases in the state.

La enfermedad coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) es el tópico de conversación y preocupación en nuestra comunidad global. La intención de este mensaje es informar a nuestra comunidad en Nuevo México del norte sobre los esfuerzos de Christus St. Vincent y para informarle a usted sobre COVID-19. Espero que este mensaje le motive a hablar con sus amigos, familia, y vecinos.

CHRISTUS values the importance of collaboration and coordinated action for the identification and care of those patients exhibiting signs of the COVID-19. Which is why we continue to follow CDC interim guidelines and work non-stop, in partnership with local, state and federal government authorities. We are fortunate to be part of a local health care community committed to responding to the needs of these patients in the safest manner necessary.

In January of this year, CHRISTUS St. Vincent will receive a 5-star quality rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services – the highest quality rating awarded by the agency and the first in the hospital’s history. Much has led to this monumental achievement.
