LAS CRUCES — Suzanne Quillen has seen the health care industry in Las Cruces grow.

As the CEO of the Advanced Care Hospital of Southern New Mexico, Quillen was on hand as the medical care facility broke ground, put up its walls and opened its doors. In fact, July marked the one-year anniversary of the first patient to be admitted to the hospital at 4451 E. Lohman Ave. It is located near the Rehabilitation Hospital of Southern New Mexico, which is owned by the same parent company, Ernest Health Inc.

The facility is also near MountainView Regional Medical Center and not far from Memorial Medical Center.

"It's a 20-bed, long-term acute care hospital," she said. "MountainView and Memorial would be considered short-term acute care. We take patients that haven't progressed through the normal recovery period in the short-term acute care hospitals."
