Navigating Lincoln County Medical Center: What to Know Before You Go

Lincoln County Medical Center (LCMC) is conveniently situated at 211 Sudderth Drive, making it easily accessible from major roads and highways. The medical center has ample parking facilities for patients and visitors. Upon arrival, LCMC tries to have clear directional signs to guide you to various departments and services. However, from time to time we hear concerns about people having difficulty finding their way around.

The medical center comprises several interconnected buildings, each housing different specialties and services. Located on the Ruidoso Campus are the hospital, Physical Therapy/Rehab Services building, White Mountain Medical Clinic, and Lincoln County EMS (Ambulance/EMS).

The main entrance of the hospital leads to the reception area, where staff is available to assist with inquiries and directions. The main entrance is where visitors will find patient registration, Business Office services, and Medical Records access. The reception area is adjacent to the Imaging Department and the Cardiopulmonary Department. The dining facility is also located here along with the gift shop and coffee shop.

For those in need of urgent care, the emergency department is located adjacent to the main entrance. It operates 24/7, staffed by experienced medical professionals ready to provide immediate assistance.

Both the main entrance and emergency entrance are noted with lettering on the awnings above their respective entrances.

Visiting hours for inpatients are flexible, accommodating the needs of patients and their families. In general, adults without symptoms and children over 14 years of age are welcome to visit. Overnight visitation is limited to one adult. Visitation in the Emergency Room is limited to two adults but can be restricted further depending on ER volumes or patient acuity.
