UNM Hospital to Acquire UNM Medical Group Clinics in 2027

UNM Hospital plans to acquire multiple clinics owned by UNM Medical Group, according to a UNM Hospital statement to Becker's. The acquisition takes effect Jan. 1, 2027, and UNM Medical Group will no longer employ staff. Its 678 existing employees were offered positions at UNM Hospital or the University of New Mexico, retaining the same job title, pay and work in most cases. The move continues an ongoing effort to streamline the UNM Health System, which has historically operated as multiple units under different licenses.
