We'd like to introduce you to Keith Powell, a patient who received treatment for skin cancer from our radiation oncology team.

Unlike surgery, this advanced treatment option is non-invasive, painless, and leaves no scarring - while still being highly effective in treating skin cancer. For patients, it means peace of mind, less disruption to daily life, and confidence in their recovery.

We are so grateful to our patients who share their stories to help others know there are safe, effective, and compassionate options for care right here in New Mexico. 💙

🌄 Honoring Native American Day 🌄

At New Mexico Cancer Center and Health Specialists of New Mexico, we are proud to serve patients in Gallup and the surrounding communities. Our Gallup clinic -the first of its kind on the Navajo Nation - was opened to make high-quality specialty care more accessible, so families don’t have to travel hours to Albuquerque or beyond for treatment.

By bringing oncology, rheumatology, and more under one roof, we are committed to respecting and supporting the health of our Native communities while keeping care close to home.

Today, we honor the rich traditions and resilience of Native peoples and reaffirm our mission to provide compassionate, local care for every patient we serve. Learn more about the care we receive at https://nmcancercenter.org/gallup-cancer-care/
