The statistics are grim. AHCH believes health care is a human right and that all people are entitled to health care. We serve people in many stages of homelessness including those living in cars or motels, couch surfing, on the street, in shelters and in transitional housing. Having access to a doctor and medical care to take care of chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic pain, is essential.
For over three decades, Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless (AHCH) has served our community as the only health care organization in Central New Mexico dedicated exclusively to providing services to homeless people. AHCH provides critical services to over 7,000 men, women and children every year.

This should be -100 rating for an agency that has a huge budget > 9 mil a year, whose director makes 140,000 and their job is to pass out needles to people addicted...by the thousands with no treatment for addiction-- the needles end up all over our parks, play yards, church yards, private property! Why do they keep getting money? Would like to know why dual diagnosis gives an addicted person disability money to spend on drugs??

I resisted going to AHCH for a long time, even though I was sick and had no insurance. When I finally did go, it was the exact opposite of what I had assumed it would be. The staff is friendly, helpful, and courteous to everyone who walked in the door. The office staff is organized and very efficient in their jobs. The nurses and nurse assistants are motivated and do everything possible to help their patients feel comfortable. The Nurse Practitioner are really amazing, and I mean all of them. They are better than M.D.'s because they lack that arrogance and indifference one encounters at most clinics
