In the late 1940's, in a response to a call from concerned citizens following World War II, plans were developed to build a hospital in Roosevelt County, located in Portales, New Mexico. Completed in 1950, "Roosevelt General Hospital," operated under county control. The hospital's services included inpatient and outpatient services in general medicine and surgery, intensive care, and obstetrics. It staffed an emergency department, Laboratory, X-ray, Physical Therapy, Respiratory Therapy, and eventually a Long-term Care Unit. After operating for years as a county hospital, the hospital was purchased by Presbyterian Healthcare Services in 1993, which also owned and operated a sister facility located 19 miles to the northeast of Portales. Roosevelt General Hospital was renamed "Plains Regional Medical Center-Portales" accommodated 30 beds and continued to maintain facilities and staffing for inpatient and outpatient services for general medicine and surgery, intensive care, and obstetrics. It also continued to provide an emergency department, Physical Therapy, Respiratory Therapy, and home care, essentially providing the same level of services as that of the county hospital. However, in 1997, Presbyterian Healthcare Services implemented phased plans for scaling back the hospital's acute care operation and, to the displeasure of local citizens, the
the hospital was closed in October 1998.
