LAMC News:

Los Alamos Medical Center (LAMC) published on Friday its community benefit report for the 2022 calendar year.

The annual report outlines the various ways the hospital continues to invest in the health and economic vitality of the Los Alamos community as part of its mission of making communities healthier®. 

“For more than 70 years, LAMC has been proud to call Northern New Mexico our home, and as a leader in our community, we are continually seeking ways to make a positive impact for those we serve,” CEO Tracie Stratton said. “This year’s report underscores our ongoing commitment to providing the highest quality care possible – both inside and outside our hospital walls.”

LAMC’s 2022 community benefit report highlights its continued efforts to meet the growing healthcare needs of its community through welcoming new providers, adding and expanding service lines and continually investing in its facilities and healthcare technology.

In 2022 LAMC:

• Added 48 providers in family and internal medicine, general surgery OB/GYN, sleep medicine, and telecardiology; and
• Made more than $800 thousand in capital improvements, including a nuclear medicine camera and new anesthesia machines.

Additionally, LAMC made a donation of nearly $3 million in health services to those in need, demonstrating its continuous commitment to ensuring everyone has access to care, regardless of their ability to pay. 

LAMC is also devoted to creating environments where providers want to practice, and employees want to work. In 2022, the hospital distributed more than $23 million in salaries, wages, and benefits for approximately 230 employees, while contributing more than $90 thousand in professional development and tuition assistance so all its employees can have the opportunity to learn, grow and improve the care they provide their patients.

Last year, the organization paid $3,225,876 in local and state taxes, while also continuing its support of local activities and organizations committed to serving the region, including the Cancer Foundation of New Mexico, Center for Nursing Excellence of New Mexico, YMCA of Los Alamos and Los Alamos Community Development. 

“We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of our community who entrusts us with their care and for the hard work and dedication of our providers, employees and volunteers who make it all possible, “ Stratton said. “As we look ahead to the future, we remain committed to honoring our legacy while further enhancing the many ways we serve our neighbors and communities.”
