In 2008, Presbyterian Healthcare Services and University of New Mexico Health Services Center each announced their plans to erect hospitals in Rio Rancho. With both healthcare providers projecting 2010 opening dates at different sites, construction times will be neck and neck as providers vie for the title of being Rio Rancho’s first full-service hospital.
