Rehoboth McKinley Christian Health Care Services is pleased to report on the spirit of cooperation between the hospital and Gallup’s local care centers.

Dr. Samuel MacBride, who is a family medicine physician as well as the Chief Medical Officer at RMCHCS, will also be serving as the Interim Medical Director for Red Rocks Care Center in Gallup.

Additionally, he serves as the Medical Director for McKinley Care and Rehabilitation Center.  Dr. MacBride is sharing this role as Medical Director at Red Rocks Care Center with Dr. Christopher Gonzaga, who is an Internal Medicine physician at RMCHCS.

Engaging physicians who live and work in the community to also serve our care facilities, allows for continuity of care to be available to the citizens of McKinley County.

Dr. MacBride has been in Gallup for about four years, serving with the Indian Health Service until last September, when he moved over to RMCHCS.

“I like the challenge of these new positions,” MacBride said in a brief interview June 17. “Providing care for all patients in different circumstances is very important. I’m pleased that I was selected for the positions and will do everything possible to make improvements.”

Even the nurses at the College Clinic agreed that MacBride is deserving of these appointments and that he is very capable of handling the new assignments.
