Gallup Community Health

Gallup Community Health, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization based in Gallup, New Mexico, operates as a federal grant recipient providing primary care and integrated behavioral health services to rural, predominantly Native American populations in McKinley County. The organization functions entirely as a prime recipient of federal grants; it holds no federal contracts and maintains no subcontractor relationships in the federal footprint tracked by this source.

Gallup Community Health's federal grant portfolio is concentrated within the Department of Health and Human Services, with three awards across two fiscal years totaling $4.8 million obligated. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Bureau of Primary Health Care awarded $1.3 million on August 1, 2026, under the Health Center Program (CFDA 93.224) to expand primary care capacity and access across 22 ZIP codes in McKinley County, with performance through July 31, 2027. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) awarded a grant on September 30, 2024, to support behavioral health expansion bringing fully integrated behavioral healthcare to the primary care setting, with planned provision of 2,500 patient contacts over a twelve-month project period, with ultimate completion by September 29, 2025. A third award from HRSA's Healthcare Systems Bureau on August 1, 2024, supported primary care expansion via Community Project Funding and congressionally directed spending, completing July 31, 2025.

Gallup Community Health is the sole effective primary care safety net provider in McKinley County, operating a health center that opened in 2022 and expanded from four exam rooms and one clinician to 40 exam rooms and 20 clinicians by end of 2024, serving over 8,000 unduplicated patients. The service area carries unmet-needs scores of 95.43 and Health Professional Shortage Area designations ranging from 18 to 22. One award (combined potential value $4.8 million) reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and faces renewal opportunity.
