Lovelace Hospital Under Fire | Santa Fe News

A thirty-two-year-old mother died two days after a scheduled induction at Lovelace Women’s Hospital, allegedly due to being given the wrong, high-risk medication — Cytotec — despite clear warning signs. Her family now faces one of at least twenty-three lawsuits targeting the hospital, which has been accused of prioritizing profits over patient safety under its corporate owner Ardent Health. Beyond this tragic case, systemic failures are emerging: staff shortages, ignored safety concerns, and pressure to keep C-section rates low are fueling a pattern of preventable maternal deaths. The Griego family’s story is not just about loss — it’s a call to action to stop these avoidable tragedies before they claim more lives.
