• Presbyterian Medical Services (PMS) is the successor to the United Presbyterian Church's Medical Mission work in the Southwest which began in 1901. In 1969, a New Mexico based 501C (3) nonprofit corporation was formed to ensure continuation of the mission to provide health care services to the underserved communities throughout the southwest.
• Throughout our 40-year history, PMS has worked collaboratively with communities, local providers, hospitals, local, state, and federal government to develop programs and services which meet the needs of the people living in these communities. PMS only expands to communities that invite our involvement.
• The diversity of services includes primary medical, dental, behavioral health, children's services, home care, hospice, and senior programs. These programs are delivered by PMS as a result of the organization's ability to respond to the unmet needs of those living throughout New Mexico.
• Presbyterian Medical Services provides services to residents with 82 individual program sites in 38 community locations throughout New Mexico. The counties served are Bernalillo, Catron, Cibola, Eddy, Lea, Luna, McKinley, Otero, Quay, Rio Arriba, Sandoval, Santa Fe, San Juan, Socorro, Taos, and Torrance.
• Many of the residents of the PMS service area live at or below the poverty level and commute long distances under adverse conditions to access health care. Many of the communities served by PMS are located in remote, rural areas with geographical barriers which dramatically impact access to services.
• In 2007, the per capita income in New Mexico was $31,474, 19% lower than the national average, ranking the state 43rd in the nation. In the same year, approximately 96% of PMS clinic consumers are at or below 200% poverty.
• In 2007, PMS provided 233,549 medical, dental and behavioral health visits to 55,729 New Mexicans in need, and served 1,273 children in the Head Start programs.
• PMS staffs 1067 employees who live and work in the communities in which PMS provides services.
