Seconded. But the big problem with NM is there's no first-world healthcare here, which makes it a tough place to live if you're older. Okay that's an exaggeration. There is good healthcare but not nearly enough for the population since doctors and nurses can make a lot more $$ elsewhere. So getting a PCP is very hard, ordinary appointments take weeks, and specialist appointments take months.

What's weird about that is UNM has a research hospital.
UNM also has a Level 1 trauma center and a world-class cancer center. But ordinary routine medicine is hard to come by in the state.
