Where do West Side families usually look for care?

West Side families usually compare the handful of larger buildings along Coors and Unser with small licensed homes in Paradise Hills and Taylor Ranch, and with Rio Rancho a few miles north, because river crossings at Montano, Paseo del Norte and Alameda make the east-side hospitals a longer drive at rush hour.

Ask any West Side home which hospital and pharmacy it uses and how it handles appointments across the river; under New Mexico's rule the facility must either provide transportation or help the resident arrange it.
