Mission
The mission of UNM Children's Hospital and Health Services is to provide the
children of New Mexico with comprehensive, family centered health care that
is unequaled in the state and region. Through a network of hospitals,
clinics, and community based services that are integrally linked to the
education and research mission of UNM, Children's Hospital and Health
Services apply advanced medical science and an abiding concern for the
well-being of children to improve and restore health for New Mexico's
youngest residents.
Vision
We are driven by a vision of society in which all children in New Mexico
have access to a full continuum of family centered pediatric healthcare
services which allow each child to achieve optimum health. We seek to
further enrich the quality of life of New Mexico's culturally and ethnically
diverse populations as we create, evaluate, apply and disseminate knowledge
to improve the health status of infants, children, and young adults
throughout New Mexico and the region.
