Rehoboth McKinley Christian Health Care Services (RMCHCS) was formed in 1983 through the merger of two hospitals: Rehoboth Christian Hospital and McKinley General Hospital. Both institutions, however, have roots dating back to the early 1900s. Rehoboth Mission Hospital was founded in 1910 at the Rehoboth Mission Station, located just one mile east of Gallup, by Protestant missionaries from the Christian Reformed Church. Its purpose was to provide healthcare to Native Americans.
In 1916, the Poor Sisters of St. Francis took over a small infirmary that had been operating since 1895 to serve railroad workers. Two years later, in 1918, the Sisters relocated to St. Mary’s Hospital in Gallup, and, in 1969, to a newly built McKinley General Hospital. During the late 1950s, the U.S. Department of Indian Affairs established a 200-bed hospital for Native Americans, which is now known as Gallup Indian Medical Center.
The opening of the Indian Hospital brought changes to Rehoboth Mission Hospital. In 1964, the hospital was renamed Rehoboth Christian Hospital and began serving all people. In 1970, the hospital moved to a new location on VandenBosch Parkway, on the east side of Gallup.
In the early 1980s, the boards of both hospitals recognized that without combining their resources, neither facility could remain financially sustainable. They decided that a merger would be the best way to continue meeting the healthcare needs of northwestern New Mexico and eastern Arizona. On November 3, 1983, representatives from Rehoboth Christian Hospital and McKinley General Hospital signed an agreement to merge the two hospitals into one entity, Rehoboth McKinley Christian Health Services, which eventually became Rehoboth McKinley Christian Health Care Services (RMCHCS).
Today, RMCHCS is a 25-bed Critical Access Hospital (CAH) with a specialty clinic, urgent care center, wellness center, and outpatient behavioral health counseling services. RMCHCS is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) fully integrated healthcare system dedicated to improving the health and well-being of the people in Gallup, McKinley County, and surrounding areas.
As the only non-Indian health services provider within a 60-mile radius, RMCHCS serves patients from a broad region. Apart from a 25-bed critical access hospital in Grants, New Mexico, RMCHCS is the only significant civilian hospital within a 120-mile radius.
