Overall

Friendly & good-humored greeting to the state of NM.

04/02/08 (1:50 PM)

I am an original native of Texas and have been living here in NM for about 6 months now. Being that NM is such a diverse state and myself an ethnic of b/f from Texas, it was totally a different custom but not a cultural shock. I have found my experience with FCCHC staff to be a very pleasant one; everyone treated me with respect and dignity. I am delighted that I chose NM State as my current and now permanent resident. I only hope that the multiplicity and uniformity array of this state remains the same. Thank you NM for such a warm & neutral welcome.

M.C.

General Practitioners

Pediatric Care
Primary Care
For as long as First Choice Community Healthcare has been providing primary care, our Health Centers have been passionate proponents of healthy communities. As a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, First Choice employs over 450 New Mexicans at our nine delivery sites that are strategically located throughout central New Mexico. Our Health Centers deliver high quality, cost effective, accessible care while serving as critical economic engines helping to power local economies. In the early 1970s, we started our first clinics in empty church buildings and storefronts. We got the word out through community outreach workers that we serve everyone, regardless of income or whether they had insurance. The word of mouth spread far and wide across Central New Mexico. In 2018, we provided a healthcare home to more than 53,000 individuals and their families.
Family Practice
"We get people from all over," said Burns, who is one of four dentists at the South Valley Family Health Commons. Burns now sees more patients from Albuquerque's Northeast Heights since the economy soured. "As things get tight, we get people who are looking for a cheap way to do it."
Emergency Care
Flu Shots
Immunizations
Healthy Kids, Healthy Families is a signature program of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico. The initiative focuses on engaging children and their families in understanding the importance of nutritious food, raising the level of physical activity, improving immunizations rates, better managing chronic conditions and promoting safe environments.

Gynecology

Internal Medicine
Cervical Cancer
We ask for payment at the time of service and help people to apply for assistance to help cover the cost of their care. We accept most insurance and offer a sliding scale fee for patients who need help paying their health care bills. We also help people apply for Medicaid, marketplace insurance and special programs such as the Breast and Cervical Cancer Program.

Mental Health
Since the Covid 19 pandemic New Mexico has been facing an increased need for behavioral health services combined with a shortage of mental health care providers in New Mexico.
Behavioral Health
