Which is better: Presbyterian or Lovelace? - Hospitals (Albuquerque, Las Cruces: insurance, university)

Which healthcare system is better - Presbyterian or Lovelace?

[NM Appraiser]

Go to Pres - one of my best buddies worked there and he ended up with MS - it's where he always wanted to go - before he passed the doctor and nurses were the BEST

I'm veteran so I have benefits beyond some of you

If I'm broken and bleeding on the street, but I'm only able to utter one word to a simple question, "Which hospital should we take this mangled body to?" I will say, with my last breath... Pres.

I agree. For regular care, Pres is my choice. If I need a level 1 trauma center, well then take me to UNMH but otherwise please don't!

[RNwithFamily]

Pres definitely.

At my office the group insurance plan is through Lovelace and everyone with it loves it. I insure myself with Presbyterian and have never had any problems with it. Go with whichever has a plan that suits you best.

We have Presbyterian plan through my husband's work and I hate it.
I am going to look into a insurance just for myself. Preferably Anthem if I can get it.

OK

I had not had any coffee yet and somehow I thought it was a pres vs UNM thread.

I still like Pres but I do know people who are happy with Lovelace.

[ohyes]

my health plan determines which one I get to use, so sort of a ??? question!
