Southwest CARE Center

Scc is a nonprofit health Center located in santa fe and bernalillo counties of northern new mexico, and primarily serves the diverse community of santa fe and surrounding areas. Scc has been providing hiv/aids Care and primary medical services to patients across the lifecycle for more than two decades. Services include a range of preventive, clinical, chronic disease, and other services. More than half (53.9%) of service area residents are low-income, living at or below 200% of the federal poverty guideline (fpg). Scc is passionately committed to ensuring that patient access to services is equally applied for all. For those patients without any kind of health insurance, such as medicaid, medicare and private insurance, the sliding fee discount program (sfdp) is sensitively administered to ensure equal access and uniformity in how it is applied. Since its founding in 1996 as a Center of excellence for the Care and treatment of people living with hiv, scc has been a trusted source of health Care and support for santa fe and albuquerque's lgbtqai+ community.throughout its history scc has championed diversity, inclusion, and respect, creating a safe and welcoming place for a broad spectrum of patients, including many who might feel uncomfortable or unwelcome in more "traditional" health Care settings. There are few alternatives for these patients, and scc are the premier provider of lgbtqai+ friendly healthcare in santa fe and northern new mexico.
