Hidalgo Medical Services (HMS) recently donated a variety of essential medical supplies to the Western New Mexico University (WNMU) Nursing Program in support of hands‑on student learning and clinical skill development.

The donation included syringes, masks, needles, iodine swab sticks, and several other critical medical items used in nursing education. These supplies will help ensure nursing students have access to the tools needed to practice procedures safely and effectively as they prepare for careers in healthcare.

“Supporting the next generation of healthcare professionals is an important part of our mission,” said Dr. Dan Otero, CEO of HMS. “We’re proud to contribute resources that will directly benefit students and strengthen local nursing education.”

The WNMU School of Nursing promotes health and improved quality of life for diverse populations through nursing education grounded in community values, scholarship, professional practice, and service.

Community partnerships like this help bridge resource needs in educational programs while reinforcing HMS’s dedication to healthcare advancement and student development.
