In an emailed statement Monday afternoon, UNM Health Sciences Center Communications Director Chris Ramirez said that patients should not show up to any UNM Health facilities Monday while UNM officials are “actively working to resolve the issue.”
The statement did not give more details about the nature of the cybersecurity issue or provide an estimate as to when the hospital and clinics would reopen to patients.
UNM Hospital is the state’s only “Level I Trauma Center,” meaning it is certified to handle the most seriously injured patients.
The health system also operates several dozen clinics, most of which are in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County along with specialized facilities in Rio Rancho and Roswell.
The email does not specify when the situation would be resolved but notes that “security teams” are actively working to identify the issue.
