Health & Wellness

 

Did you know. . .

• In 2003, Organic Style magazine rated Santa Fe "America's Healthiest City."

 

Santa Fe is "the city different" as much as when it comes to healthcare as with any other part of life here.  Consider this: there are more licensed massage therapists per capita in Santa Fe than anywhere else in the country.  Massage, acupuncture, cutting-edge therapies, and holistic treatments are just some of the alternative medical options underpinning the more traditional healthcare options that are available.  Add to this the number of spas, yoga schools, and fitness centers and you will begin to understand how Santa Feans embrace, promote, and sustain health.

 

Among the major hospitals, clinics, and government resources are names you'll no doubt expect to find:  Lovelace Health Systems; NM Dept. of Health and related healthcare services; Presbyterian Medical Services; St. Vincent Regional Medical Center; Santa Fe Health and Human Services Dept.; Santa Fe County Health Office; Santa Fe Indian Hospital; and Santa Fe Nurse Practitioner Associates. 

 

Branching out from these are specialized service providers for women's health, children and youth, dental, hospice care, HIV/Aids services, mental health facilities, and rehabilitation centers. 

 

As elsewhere in U.S. cities, the state monitors licensing and quality of care for each licensed health professional, head to toe, whether treating body or mind.
