Provider Recruitment Professionals Week
This week is Physician & Provider Recruitment Professionals Week—a perfect time to recognize our Medical Staff Credentialing Director/Recruiter Monica Ultreras Nava.
In her vital role at Artesia General Hospital, Monica plays a key part in strengthening healthcare access across southeastern New Mexico—including the communities of Artesia, Carlsbad, Roswell, and the surrounding rural areas. As a dedicated physician recruiter, she works to attract top-tier medical talent by crafting compelling job postings, showcasing AGH’s collaborative culture, and highlighting the unique benefits of living and working in our region. Monica not only ensures candidates understand the clinical opportunities available, but also helps them envision a fulfilling life within the communities we serve.
Her efforts extend well beyond provider recruitment. From the first point of contact to the first day on the job, Monica and her team create a seamless and supportive experience for incoming providers. By helping new physicians and advanced practice providers feel at home—both inside the hospital and within the broader community—she plays a key role in building lasting relationships that support retention and long-term impact. Thanks to Monica’s work, AGH continues to grow a medical staff made up of professionals who bring clinical excellence along with a deep-rooted passion for rural healthcare and the people who call this region home.
At AGH, we know that delivering outstanding care begins long before a patient visits one of our clinics, or schedules a procedure. It starts behind the scenes to ensure that our hospital is staffed with skilled, compassionate providers who are trusted experts across all areas of care—from Primary Care and Women’s Health to Orthopedics, Cardiology, and beyond.
