History:
Ben Archer Health Center (BAHC) is a non-profit 501(c) 3 corporation. The center has a distinguished history of services to the communities in the Hatch Valley. In July 1969 interested citizens of the Hatch area and project promoters formulated and implemented a plan to conduct medical examinations at the Hatch Valley High School Building. These early efforts by the concerned citizens of the Hatch area have led to the present modern and fully equipped health center that provides a range of primary medical and dental services and health education. In 1982, the facility was renamed Ben Archer Health Center of Hatch in honor of Mr. Ben Archer whose efforts contributed significantly to the establishment of the health center.

Ben Archer Health Center (BAHC) is a network of seven centers providing primary health and dental care to local residents distributed throughout Southern New Mexico.
