Presbyterian Medical Services operates roughly 100 programs across New Mexico, delivering integrated health, education, and human services to the region's multicultural populations. The organisation provides medical and dental care, behavioural health services, early childhood education including Head Start programmes, early intervention services, senior care, and support for individuals with developmental disabilities. Since its founding in 1969, it has maintained a commitment to serve people regardless of their ability to pay, with much of its work directed towards individuals living at or below the federal poverty level.
The organisation's approach emphasises collaboration with community groups, school districts, local providers, hospitals, and government agencies at all levels. This integrated model reflects a recognition that health and wellbeing outcomes depend on addressing education, social services, and human services alongside clinical care. Staff describe the work as genuinely rewarding, pointing to tangible improvements in the lives of those served.
