About LAPHO

The Los Alamos Physician and Hospital Organization (PHO) was established in 1994, forming a partnership between the Los Alamos Medical Center (LAMC) and many of the Physician and Behavioral Health Care providers in Los Alamos. The PHO assists its members through the contracting process with insurance companies (including Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Presbyterian, United Health Care, and Lovelace). In addition, the bi-monthly board meetings, which are open to all members, provide a venue to learn about current health care trends, meet the various insurance representatives for the Los Alamos area, and to discuss issues in health care and office management that are pertinent in Los Alamos, as well as nationwide.

Our members include Board certified physicians specializing in primary care, family medicine, OB/GYNs, cardiologists, dermatologists, podiatrists, ENTs, and allergists. The Behavioral Health members include psychologists, psychiatrists, and counselors. The Los Alamos Medical Center is a modern, acute care facility with excellent inpatient and outpatient services available 24 hours a day and a deep commitment to the Los Alamos community.
