Albuquerque Uptown Medical Supply Hub – I‑40, Cutler Avenue & Midtown Corridors
Albuquerque’s Uptown district hosts Presbyterian Hospital, UNM Hospital, Lovelace Medical Center, Sandia National Laboratories offices, Balloon Fiesta Park logistics, APS athletics, and multistate EMS partnerships. Our LAC Health counter inside Walmart #2451 at 4700 Cutler Avenue NE keeps Presbyterian trauma teams, UNM transplant units, Lovelace heart programs, Bernalillo County EMS, Sandia contractors, and Uptown event medics supplied without waiting on Denver or Phoenix depots.
Within 20 miles are Presbyterian Main, UNM Hospital Level I trauma, Lovelace Heart Hospital, VA Albuquerque, ABQ International Sunport, Sandia Labs, Kirtland AFB, I‑25/I‑40 concurrency, and Balloon Fiesta Park. Monsoon flooding, high-wind dust, winter freezes, and mass gatherings require a “medical suppliers near me” counter integrated with Metro ICS—this Cutler Avenue hub delivers.
Uptown blends healthcare towers, government labs, retail, and Route 66 heritage. LAC Health supports them with generator-backed cold rooms, bilingual (English/Spanish/Navajo) paperwork, and MOUs with Bernalillo County Joint Information Center, NMDOH Region 3, and Sandoval County mutual aid.
