"Obstetricians, an orthopedic surgeon, a pediatrician, an internal medicine specialist - these are the things you expect when you come to a community the size of Curry County," Bair said in June.

Razo used the CT scanner as an example. "The new scanner is the latest technology; 64-slice versus the 16-slice CT in the old hospital," said Razo.
