The center’s director of research, Tamara Flys, said this week Southwest CARE of Santa Fe is looking for partnerships to delve into geriatric, pediatric, diabetes and primary-care research, the Santa Fe New Mexican reported .
In early 2013, Southwest CARE logged 600 patients, all of them HIV-positive. Today, after an institutional overhaul that saw the addition of primary care, pediatric, diabetes, women’s health and other services, the center treats 12,000 patients in six New Mexico cities.
Over its 22-year history, the center has participated in 100 clinical trials, while also initiating some of its own research into HIV and AIDS.
