not-for-profit healthcare system of nine hospitals, a statewide
health plan and a growing multi-specialty medical group. Founded in
New Mexico in 1908, it is the state's largest private employer with
approximately 11,000 employees. Presbyterian's story is really the story of the remarkable
people who have chosen to work here. Starting with Reverend Cooper
who began our journey in 1908, the hard work of thousands of
physicians, employees, board members, and other volunteers brought
Presbyterian from a tiny tuberculosis sanatorium to a statewide
healthcare system, serving more than 700,000 New Mexicans. We are
part of New Mexico's history - and committed to its future. That is
why we will continue to work just as hard and care just as deeply
to serve New Mexico for years to come. About New Mexico New
Mexico's unique blend of Spanish, Mexican and Native American
influences contribute to a culturally rich lifestyle. Add in
Albuquerque's International Balloon Fiesta, Los Alamos' nuclear
scientists, Roswell's visitors from outer space, and Santa Fe's
artists, and you get an eclectic mix of people, places and
experiences that make this state great. Cities in New Mexico are
continually ranked among the nation's best places to work and live
by Forbes magazine, Kiplinger's Personal Finance, and other
corporate and government relocation managers like Worldwide ERC.
New Mexico offers endless recreational opportunities to explore,
and enjoy an active lifestyle. Venture off the beaten path,
challenge your body in the elements, or open yourself up to the
expansive sky. From hiking, golfing and biking to skiing,
snowboarding and boating, it's all available among our beautiful
