About El Centro Family Health

El Centro Family Health is a nonprofit community health organization serving rural Northern New Mexico, with a network of clinics that includes a site in Embudo. As a Federally Qualified Health Center, they offer primary medical, dental, and behavioral health care in one system, and their behavioral health services include counseling, therapy, and psychiatric care. Their roots go back to the early 1970s, and their approach centers on making care reachable for isolated communities while respecting the region’s culture and traditions. Their leadership includes a physician board-certified in addiction medicine whose focus is caring for people with opioid use disorder.

For anyone dealing with substance use, a key strength is the attention given to opioid use disorder, especially for pregnant women and new mothers, with the goal of making sure both parents and babies get appropriate medical care. Because behavioral health sits alongside primary care, people can address mental health, emotional struggles, and physical health with the same care team. They have expanded telehealth across their rural service area, and their school-based health centers bring counseling and emotional support directly to students on campus. No one is turned away for inability to pay, and they accept Medicaid, Medicare, and most private insurance, with a sliding fee scale based on household income and family size.
