ABOUT US
CURA Healthcare is a women-owned physician group dedicated to delivering compassionate, holistic medical care to patients in post-acute, long-term care, life plan, and senior living communities.
Founded to address gaps in access to high-quality healthcare for seniors and vulnerable adults in New Mexico, CURA Healthcare focuses on building collaborative partnerships with healthcare facilities to improve outcomes, enhance care coordination, and elevate the patient experience.
Our innovative care model centers on patients living in skilled nursing and long-term care facilities, where our physicians and advanced practitioners work closely with facility teams to deliver comprehensive, evidence-based medical care.
At CURA Healthcare, our multidisciplinary team — including physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and administrative professionals — is committed to patient-centered care, proactive communication, and coordinated treatment strategies that support both recovery and long-term well being.
