About Our Clinic
The original Santo Domingo Health Station was located in the pueblo village proper as a 1500 sq. ft. facility. Limited ambulatory care services were provided to about 15 patients in the morning and afternoon. The current primary structure of the Santo Domingo Health Center was built and completed by SDP in 2006, with expansions for added clinical and administration space completed in 2016 and 2020.
