• New book celebrates 'A Century of Route 66 in New Mexico' (abqjournal.com subscription) — Gallup's Route 66 heritage gets a starring role in a new book that spotlights local restaurants, the Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial, and the Gallup Cultural Center. Through essays, profiles, and photos, it traces how Route 66 shaped Indigenous art, tourism, and small-town life across New Mexico, while giving Gallup's culture and businesses prominent attention.
• A Rare Pattern of Harm: Statin-Associated Immune-Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy in Native American Populations - American College of Cardiology (acc.org) — Researchers highlight Gallup Indian Medical Center's striking cluster of statin-related muscle disease cases, suggesting Native patients here face much higher risks than the general population. The article explains how this rare autoimmune reaction is detected and treated, and urges clinicians serving Gallup and other Native communities to watch closely for unexplained weakness after starting statins and to consider alternative cholesterol therapies when needed.
