T he long-term viability of Memorial Medical Center is of paramount concern to our City, our County and our extended community. Maintaining MMC as the full-service acute care medical facility it has been, serving all of our residents, regardless of their ability to pay, is vital to the medical, social, and economic well being of our people.The City of Las Cruces and Dona Ana County, representing the public ownership of the facility, have committed themselves to preserving MMC in the best economically and socially responsible means possible. To accomplish this, the City and County have retained the services of a consultant to guide the process by which Memorial Medical Center is expected to enter its next phase of operations The consultant has established a list of community criteria that will guide the process from receipt of Requests for Proposals through final determination. All options to be considered by the City and the County for the future operation of Memorial Medical Center will be guided by the following community criteria:

• Establish a commitment to a full-service acute care facility
• Place the facility in an enhanced regionally competitive position
• Commit to establish a “social contract” for indigent care at the facility
• Preserve commitments already made to current employees at MMC
• Provide local governance that is accountable to the community
• Integrate with a commitment toward a continuum of community care
• Commit to future capital investment at the facility
• Maintain and enhance a quality level of service that is measurable
• Create a systemic approach to serving the whole community through outreach, local clinics, veterans administration services, and services to the homeless, among others.

The City and the County have established a series of meetings to provide the public with regular monthly updates on the status of City and County efforts to maintain Memorial Medical Center as a community asset. The schedule of meetings is:

• Wednesday, September 17
