Attorney general presses NM hospital on plans to reinstate OB-GYN services

New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas sent a letter Thursday seeking evidence of progress in restoring obstetrical and delivery services at Las Vegas, N.M.-based Alta Vista Regional Hospital, the Albuquerque Journal reports.

The hospital has gone without the women's health services for about six months due to issues retaining physicians and nurses, according to the report.

The letter was sent to Gilbert Vallejos, president of the Las Vegas (N.M.) Health Trust, a nonprofit responsible for addressing community healthcare needs, and to Chris Wolf, CEO of the hospital. Attorney General Balderas wrote that the gap in care was unacceptable and asked for details of a plan to fill the gap, according to the report.
