First Nations Community HealthSource (FNCH) is committed to providing a culturally competent, comprehensive health service delivery system integrating traditional values to enhance the physical, spiritual, emotional and mental well-being of American Indians and other underserved populations residing in Albuquerque and the surrounding tribes.

The main contracts and grants that fund FNCH are:

FNCH was established in 1972 as the Albuquerque Indian Health Center, which worked to improve the behavioral and health status of American Indians.

Because of the demand for services from the neighboring Pueblos, the organization expanded its service delivery area to include tribal reservations. FNCH is a federally qualified health center and the only Title V urban Indian Health program in New Mexico. FNCH is deemed a Federal Public Health Service Employee.
