As we reflect this Memorial Day weekend, we honor the brave men and women who have served our country and the sacrifices they made for our freedom.

Rio Grande Honor Flight Mission 21 was another meaningful journey, giving area veterans the opportunity to visit the monuments and memorials built in their honor in Washington, D.C. More than a trip, Honor Flight is a powerful experience filled with remembrance, gratitude, and connection.

In this video, Memorial Medical Center employees Maurice “Mo” Cox and James Wilcox reflect on their experience serving as Guardians for veterans on Mission 21. From unforgettable moments in our nation’s capital to the emotional welcome home celebrations, they share what it meant to stand beside and support those who served.

At MMC we are proud to continue supporting the Rio Grande Honor Flight and honoring the legacy of our veterans.

Memorial Medical Center is proud to announce that Andrew Cummins, Director of Marketing & Communications, has been recognized as the hospital’s 2026 Mercy Award winner. The Mercy Award recognizes one employee from each of Lifepoint Health’s facilities who profoundly touches the lives of others and best represents the spirit and values on which the company was founded. The award is considered the highest honor a Lifepoint employee can receive.

Andrew leads a Marketing and Communications pair that is routinely recognized as one of the top teams across all of Lifepoint Health. From video shoots and social media campaigns to media relations and community events – and countless other duties to support the hospital’s day-to-day operations – Andrew has his fingerprints all over documenting and contributing to Memorial’s impacts both inside and outside the walls of the hospital.

“With his ingenuity, kindness, work ethic, collaborative spirit, and welcome sense of humor, Andrew undoubtedly exemplifies this year’s Mercy Award theme of ‘Inspired by Mission, Driven by Heart,’” said Dennis Knox, chief executive officer of Memorial Medical Center. “He genuinely looks forward to uplifting and showcasing how we’re making a tremendous impact in our community each and every day. Andrew’s behind-the-scenes magic as a hospital leader is now center stage for all to see.”

Andrew will tell you it’s easy to do his job when there are so many amazingly talented and caring people at MMC – from bedside staff to those working in the background just like him.

Outside of his formal job duties, Andrew participates in a number of organizations that are both professionally and personally fulfilling to him: Rio Grande Honor Flight – for which he served as a Guardian on Mission 20, the Greater Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Las Cruces, the Las Cruces Public Schools Foundation, and Memorial’s Team Member Satisfaction Committee.

“Andrew’s support of veterans reflects a deep personal commitment to service that extends well beyond his professional responsibilities. He consistently represents Memorial Medical Center with integrity, professionalism, and heart,” Rio Grande Honor Flight leadership wrote in Andrew’s award recommendation letter.

There are numerous other community causes and nonprofit organizations that MMC has supported or partnered with over the last few years thanks to Andrew’s relationship-building skills and many hours spent at local and regional events.

Congratulations, Andrew!

This EMS Week, we have proudly recognized the EMS professionals who answer the call every day with skill, compassion and dedication. 🚑💙

We capped off the week this morning by hosting a special breakfast and presenting gifts to acknowledge and honor the incredible work of our local EMS partners. Whether responding to emergencies, providing lifesaving care or supporting patients during some of their most difficult moments, EMS crews are an essential part of the care team and a critical link in our communities.

While we enjoyed taking the time to recognize their hard work, one week of appreciation will never truly be enough to thank them for the challenging and important work they do each and every day. We sincerely thank you for your commitment, courage and the countless lives you impact across our communities. Your work does not go unnoticed.

Together, we’re improving outcomes and saving lives. We couldn’t do what we do without you.

May 2026 will go down as one of the most celebratory – and busiest – months in Nicole Chacon’s life. But knowing her, there’s still likely many, many more accomplishments and celebrations to come.

Nicole this month marked her 20th anniversary as a Pharmacy Technician at Memorial Medical Center’s annual Employee Service Awards, earned her nursing degree from New Mexico State University, and accepted a new job as a registered nurse in Memorial’s bustling Emergency Department. It was an absolute blur, but in the best of ways.

She was also one of three NMSU School of Nursing students to recently receive the prestigious Nightingale Award, a $2,500 scholarship stipend from the New Mexico Center for Nursing Excellence.

Nicole accomplished all of this while being a mom, meaning she essentially has held three full-time jobs for the last two-and-a-half years. Her constant drive stems from being a self-described “risk-taker” who continually challenges herself and wants to see what doors just may open next.

“Don’t hold back,” the El Paso native offered as advice to her healthcare peers. “Don’t stop because you feel like you’re going to let someone else down. If that’s what you want to do, then go for it. That’s what I did with nursing.”

Congratulations, Nicole! You make us incredibly proud!

Beautiful. Powerful. Inspiring. These moments are why we do this. 🔔

Joe Lucero’s bell ringing at Memorial Radiation Oncology was a very special moment as he celebrated the completion of seven weeks of radiation therapy for prostate cancer. Joe’s loved ones from across generations filled our lobby to support him for this momentous occasion, showing unwavering love that truly warmed his heart.

To every survivor, every fighter, and every family standing beside them, this is what hope looks like. Keep pushing. Keep believing. Keep showing the world what strength really means.

It was a wonderful morning to support the Boys & Girls Club of Las Cruces 18th Annual Lou & Mary Henson Community Breakfast by celebrating the power of mentorship, education, and opportunity.

The tireless efforts of the Boys & Girls Club inspire young people to dream bigger, explore new paths, and build a strong future for themselves and our community. Hearing from club members about the difference this organization makes in their lives was incredibly impactful – and hearing NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Owens’ life story only offered more inspiration.

As we lay the foundation for a brighter future together, let's continue to break barriers and ensure that every child and teen has the opportunity to thrive. We are grateful for a community that continues to support great futures and is so behind the club’s capital campaign for a much-deserved brand-new facility.

We are very proud to celebrate a significant milestone this week, having successfully completed more than 100 Cath Lab cases using CathWorks technology. MMC is the only hospital offering this technology in our greater region. This achievement highlights our commitment to adopting cutting-edge tools that enhance patient care and outcomes for our community.

Using advanced AI, this technology helps doctors better understand blood flow in the heart using images they already take during a heart catheterization, without extra wires or medications. This advancement empowers our cardiology team to provide precise and personalized treatment plans for our patients, all while improving efficiency and reducing the need for invasive procedures.

As we reflect on this accomplishment, we remain dedicated to advancing cardiovascular care, ensuring that our community has access to the latest medical innovations. This milestone is not only a testament to the expertise of our healthcare professionals but also to the trust that our patients place in us for their heart health needs.
