Closure Notice

Dear Valued Patient,

We wanted to let you know that Dr. David Sanchez has resigned from Big Bend Regional Health Clinic, effective immediately. With this departure, the Big Bend Regional Health Clinic in Presidio will close, effective February 25.

We understand how this news might cause disappointment for you. Our team will continue to be here in Alpine, providing you with onsite medical care, after-hours support, prescription management, specialty care referrals, and overall health and wellness support.

We value you as a patient of Big Bend Health Clinic and your continued health care needs will be assumed by one of the family medicine providers in Alpine. The Alpine office will continue to operate Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The Big Bend Health Clinic care team in Alpine, includes Family Medicine: Dr. David Nitschmann, Melody Hornady, NP, Kate Powers, DNP, APRN, AGACNP-BC, FNP-C; Pediatric Care: Dr. Sarah Zate, and Women’s Health: Dr. Luis J. Ruiz. If you haven’t met the family medicine providers, please see their introductions below or visit bbrhc.com/providers. As a current patient, you can schedule your appointments online at BigBendAnytime.com.

If you choose to pursue other options for primary care, you may request an authorization for release of information form so we may send your medical records to that provider by calling the Alpine office at 432-837-0430. Please call with any questions at 432-837-0430.
