Today, LCMC celebrated Sadie and recognized her retirement as a therapy dog for our patients and families and staff. For over 5 years Sadie has provided comfort and love to so many at LCMC. Sadie was our first therapy dog, but not our last. She set the standard.

Sadie received acknowledgements from Governor Lujan-Grisham, Mayor Lynn Crawford and the Lincoln County Commissioners, represented by Commissioner Samantha Serna.

Special thanks to Judy Ellis for her work to put this program in place and ensure the baton is passed.

“Don’t Make Me Call the Pink Ladies.”

A great part of LCMC is our Auxiliary. From raising funds for projects to advocating for our needs, the “Pink Ladies”, as they used to be called, are there to make LCMC a better place. We would be remiss if we didn’t note that not all of the Auxiliary are women. Thank you to our Turquoise Men as well.

One of the great programs the Hospital Auxiliary has provided to LCMC is the support pet therapy. Special thanks to Judy Ellis for your leadership. Bob and Sharon Curtis joined our team this year. This program not only supports our patients, but also our staff. The smiles abound when this group comes to the hospital.

Thank you also to Matador, Teddie, and Ruby.

Yesterday, Todd Oberheu, along with the support of members of the Hospital Auxiliary, presented plans for a helipad before the Village of Ruidoso Planning Commission. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the plans.

This helipad will allow air flight transportation directly from the hospital to higher-level facilities. The helipad will be located behind the hospital on the old Nob Hill School property. Construction is expected to begin before the end of the year.
