Ron Stern, CEO of Lovelace, made the offer in a Feb. 22 letter to Steve McKernan, CEO of the University of New Mexico Health Science System. UNMH officials said that they hadn’t talked with Lovelace about the offer.
UNMH has said that it needs a new 185,000-square-foot, 96-bed facility because it doesn’t have enough adult inpatient beds at its current hospital. Officials from the hospital said that Lovelace’s proposal would not alleviate the need for the new hospital.
