2. The Joint Commission reviewers evaluated compliance with certification standards and conducted observations and interviews during an unannounced on-site review on July 25.
3. Sabrina Martin serves as CEO of the Las Cruces-based hospital. "Spinal cord injury survivors require highly specialized care and our team dedicated themselves to earning this certification to help these survivors, in our region," she said.
