This isn’t just a presentation. It’s a reality check. A huge thank you to our ER team and EMS partners for participating in this year’s Doña Ana County “Shattered Lives” event with students from Organ Mountain High School.

While it is a mock exercise, the simulation teaches teens the devastating effects of drunken or drugged driving – including the “deaths” of several classmates. Following today’s mock crash and its simulated fallout that included the appearance by "grim reapers," students will gather in the high school gymnasium tomorrow for an assembly featuring a mock memorial service and reflections from victims’ parents.

This year’s program is made possible under the direction of Eva Madrid, Doña Ana County Cooperative Extension Service, and with the collaborative efforts of Las Cruces Public Schools and several local law enforcement agencies, including the Doña Ana County Sheriff’s Office, Las Cruces Police Department, New Mexico State Police and the local sector of the U.S. Border Patrol.

Take a closer look inside our cutting-edge Pulmonary Function Testing Lab with William Delago, Diagnostic Coordinator for the Respiratory Therapy Department, as he walks us through what’s often called a “physical exam for your lungs.”

From checking your airways (“the pipes”) and lung capacity (“the balloon”) to measuring how well oxygen moves into your bloodstream (“the filter”), our team is here to get a complete picture of your respiratory health. Whether it’s managing symptoms, evaluating treatment, or preparing for a procedure, we provide the answers you need.

Most PFT labs handle routine testing, but we go beyond the standard. Our team provides a higher level of critical care integration and specialized handling that is rarely found in a typical lab setting. We manage complex cases that many labs are not equipped to handle, proudly serving as a leader in advanced pulmonary testing in our community.

At MMC, it’s more than testing, it’s connected, specialized care designed to help you breathe easier with confidence.

It was wonderful to meet so many friendly faces and share resources at today’s Las Cruces Village Independent Living Health & Wellness Fair. Residents were very interested in learning about how they can stay active and healthy, more than proving that age is just a number!

At MMC, we believe healthcare should be proactive, compassionate and community-focused. Here’s to more events like this that strengthen our bonds!

When spring arrives, many of us start sneezing and sniffling. But did you know that spring allergies can also change how you breathe while you sleep? In fact, people with allergies are twice as likely to have sleep apnea. The stuffiness makes your airway narrower, which leads to more snoring and pauses in your breathing.

In this timely article, Joshua Levinger, MD, Otolaryngologist (ENT), explains this very important connection between allergies and sleep, and what you can do!

Celebrating the gift of life! In 2025, a record 135 donor heroes in New Mexico saved 275 lives.

Today we welcomed Donate Life New Mexico Donor Services to recognize National Donate Life Month by sharing information and raising a “Donate Life” flag to reaffirm our commitment to serving patients, saving lives and honoring donor heroes. A very special thank you to Deacon Lonnie Briseno for his beautiful words before the flag-raising. At MMC, we are proud to support the Donate Life mission and raise awareness about the life-saving impact of registering as an organ donor.

Did you know that more than 100,000 men, women and children are currently waiting for a lifesaving transplant? Thirteen people die each day waiting for an organ transplant, and every 8 minutes another person is added to the national waiting list.

➡️ One registration can help save lives. Consider registering to become a donor today at RegisterMe.org
