Our Mission

Southern New Mexico Surgery Center, LLC will provide complete perioperative services for operative and other invasive procedures, including the immediate postoperative phase, to all patients without discrimination. The care provided is not limited to surgical intervention, but also embraces the psychological, social and spiritual dimensions of the patients and their families.

This mission is fulfilled in collaboration with other ancillary and support services throughout the facility. To achieve and maintain this mission, a comprehensive patient assessment, reassessment and plan of perioperative patient care is consistently developed and implemented for all patients.
