Alamogordo High Desert Medical Supply Hub – Indian Wells, Holloman AFB & White Sands
Alamogordo links Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center, Holloman Air Force Base’s 49th Wing, White Sands Missile Range, Lincoln National Forest hotshot crews, and rural Otero County clinics. Our LAC Health counter inside Walmart #5726 at 2401 Indian Wells Road keeps Gerald Champion OR suites, 49th Medical Group, White Sands test teams, Mescalero Apache EMS, US Forest Service crews, and space tourism operations stocked without waiting on El Paso depots.
Within 40 miles are Holloman AFB, White Sands Missile Range, NASA’s Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility, Lincoln National Forest fire bases, Alamogordo–White Sands Regional Airport, and U.S. Highways 54/70/82. Missile tests, dust storms, wildfire deployments, and tourism surges demand a “medical suppliers near me” counter tuned to high-desert ICS—this Indian Wells hub delivers.
The Tularosa Basin blends aerospace research, tribal sovereignty, agriculture, and outdoor recreation. LAC Health supports that blend with generator-backed cold rooms, bilingual (English/Spanish/Apache) documentation, and MOUs with Otero County EM, Holloman AFB Bioenvironmental, and New Mexico Department of Health Region 5.
