History
History
The history of our organization begins in the 1880s when missionaries and philanthropists from the Midwest extended their mission of caring to Albuquerque In 1901 they built the citys first hospital and a year later they opened a sanitarium to care for the growing ranks of tuberculosis patients seeking health in the high dry air of Albuquerque

In 1913 a young doctor named William Randolph Lovelace moved his frontier practice to the city Before long he was renowned for his skill as a surgeon and his extraordinary compassion for his patients Joined by Dr Edgar T Lassetter and eventually by other physicians Dr Lovelace modeled his pioneering group practice the Lovelace Clinic after Minnesota s respected Mayo Clinic

World War II changed life in unimaginable ways spurring technological social and economic growth in the American West and demanding a new vision for the delivery of health care With medicine rapidly advancing ace pilot and decorated veteran Dr Randy Lovelace followed in his uncles footsteps joining the Lovelace Clinic in 1946 He had already made a name for himself in the field of aviation medicine As a fellow in surgery at the Mayo Clinic he worked on the development of the BLB mask which delivered oxygen to aviators flying at high altitudes In fact the L in BLB stands for Lovelace

In the late 1950s at the height of the Cold War a new federal agency called NASA announced its first major undertaking Project Mercury which would launch the first national manned space capsule into orbit around the earth Rigorous testing at Lovelace Medical Center narrowed the field to a handful of men who would be known to history as the Mercury 7
