The University of New Mexico Hospital (locally known as either University Hospital or UNM Hospital) is a teaching hospital located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, north of The University of New Mexico's Main Campus. It is the only Level I Trauma Center in the State of New Mexico, and also houses the only Children's Hospital and Burn Unit in the state. It is also the primary teaching hospital for the UNM School of Medicine, which is located on the hospital campus. As of early 2007, the hospital has 387 certified beds.
In June 2007, a new addition to the hospital opened its doors to the public. The Barbara and Bill Richardson Pavilion, named after New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and his wife Barbara, is a 455,000 SF, six-story addition to the main hospital building. The $225 Million addition took approximately 3 years to build, and houses a greatly expanded emergency room as well as expanded intensive care units, pediatric operating rooms, birthing suites, as well as improved children's inpatient wards.
