Клиника интегративной медицины в Таосе закроется 9 октября из-за нехватки врачей

Taos’ shortage of primary care physicians and healthcare options generally will likely worsen in early October, when Taos Whole Health Integrative Care clinic will shut its doors for good. A letter to patients that the clinic shared with the Taos News explained, “Due to provider shortages, the clinic is no longer financially viable, a reality we did not arrive at lightly.” A clinic worker told the Taos News that a recent “transfer of ownership” of the clinic had fallen through, followed by three providers handing in their notices of resignation. As recently as July, the clinic was soliciting new patients. In the letter, Taos Whole Health advised patients to begin looking for a new primary care provider as soon as possible. The clinic will close Oct. 9. Until then, current patients may schedule appointments, discuss prescription medications and refills, follow up on lab work, imaging and referrals, as well as request medical records. Contact Taos Whole Health Integrative Care, 1331 Maestas Rd., by phone, 575-776-7806, or fax, 575-224-3348, with questions or concerns. The clinic is open Monday-Thursday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m., but will be closed Monday (Sept. 7) for the Labor Day holiday. For more on this story, pick up a copy of the Sept. 10 edition of the Taos News.
