AGH’s Vibrant Women’s Clinic is the most comprehensive women’s health destination in southeast New Mexico. Not because of the building. Because of what’s inside it — fellowship-trained urogynecologic care that previously required a drive to Albuquerque, a nurse practitioner with deep roots in this community, and a coordinated care model that connects women’s health with cardiology, behavioral health, nutrition, and imaging all under one roof.
For women in Artesia, this is your backyard. For women in Carlsbad, Roswell, and the communities in between, the Vibrant Women’s Clinic is closer than you think — and worth the drive.

Why SE New Mexico Women Choose AGH
Rural healthcare access is a genuine challenge across the United States, and southeast New Mexico is not immune. Women in Eddy County and the surrounding region have historically had to choose between long drives to Albuquerque or El Paso for specialist care, or simply going without. AGH has spent the past several years systematically closing that gap.
The Vibrant Women’s Clinic represents the most significant investment in women’s health in this region in recent memory. Fellowship-trained urogynecologic care — the kind previously unavailable outside of Albuquerque — is now available in Artesia. Coordinated women’s behavioral health, nutrition services, and cardiovascular care are integrated into the same system. You don’t have to manage your health across multiple providers in multiple cities anymore.
And the quality is documented. AGH scores 91 out of 100 on CMS patient satisfaction — the highest in southeast New Mexico. Three out of four inpatient survey respondents give AGH a perfect 10. This is not a rural hospital asking you to settle. It’s a community hospital outperforming larger regional systems on the metrics that matter.
Women’s Health Services Available at AGH
Here is a full picture of what’s available for women at Artesia General Hospital — every service covered throughout Women’s Health Month, in one place.
Vibrant Women’s Clinic — Gynecology & Urogynecology
The Vibrant Women’s Clinic at 612 N. 13th St., Professional Building 1, Suite B, Artesia is led by Dr. Scott Beard, MD, FACOG, FPMRS and Laurie Crockett, FNP.

Call (575) 736-8394.
Dr. Beard’s FPMRS fellowship certification makes him one of the few subspecialty-trained urogynecologists practicing in rural New Mexico.
