The 65,000 square foot Nzh'o Na'ch'idle'ee Medical Center serves a population of about 3,000 people on the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation in northern New Mexico. Opened in 2004 outside the town of Dulce, 3 hours north of Albuquerque, it is a fully modern medical center that offers a range of services including dentistry, optometry, urgent care and x-ray, laboratory, audiology, physical therapy, behavioral health, and a pharmacy.
Currently, the Jicarilla Apache Healthcare Facility optometry program attends to the vision needs of 25 to 30 patients per week. The optometry program offers complete dilated eye exams for the diabetic population as well as services from the Joslin Vision Network that offers retinal photography through a nondilated eye exam.
