New Mexico Health Retreat

This progressive 'medical vacation' campus will provide a new model of care, immersing Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) patients in a safe, holistic, health-centered resort setting where they will experience treatments, surroundings, and resources to help them realize peace and health. 

It will include state of the art construction techniques that ensure mold free casitas and clinic space, wellness services such as massage, spa, and other ancillary medical services, organic, whole food grown primarily on site, and outdoor amenities to meld state of art health care with educational experiences celebrating the benefits and joy of healthy activity and daily lifestyle choices.  

It will also provide a full range of services to support total health – spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically – for residents of the surrounding community and region.
