Family Nurse Practitioner Providing Primary Care for 18 and above in Santa Fe

Whether you need a provider for your child's school physical, your own annual wellness exam, or a parent's blood pressure management, having one person who knows your whole family's health makes care simpler and more connected. Anugeeta is a board-certified family nurse practitioner at CHRISTUS Health in Santa Fe, New Mexico, seeing patients age 18 and above —— at CHRISTUS St. Vincent Adult and Family Care on St. Michaels Drive. She earned her graduate nursing degree from Texas Woman's University and is certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). As a family nurse practitioner, she provides the full range of primary care services — diagnosing and treating illnesses, managing chronic conditions, ordering labs and imaging, prescribing medications, performing wellness exams, and coordinating referrals when patients need specialty care.

Clinical Role

Anugeeta practices at CHRISTUS St. Vincent Adult and Family Care at 465 St. Michaels Drive, Suite 230, in Santa Fe — a family medicine clinic where patients of all ages can receive primary care in one location. As a family nurse practitioner, she manages the day-to-day health needs of her patient panel: seeing patients for acute concerns (like infections, injuries, and sudden symptoms), performing preventive care (annual physicals, immunizations, age-appropriate screenings), managing chronic diseases over time, and referring to specialists within the CHRISTUS Health network when a condition requires it. Her affiliation with CHRISTUS St. Vincent Regional Medical Center means she can coordinate care with hospital-based services when patients need a higher level of support.

She provides care for conditions such as:

• Annual wellness exams and preventive screenings — including immunizations, blood pressure monitoring, cholesterol checks, diabetes screening, and age-appropriate cancer screenings for children through seniors
• Acute illness and infections — colds, flu, strep throat, sinus infections, urinary tract infections, ear infections, and other conditions requiring prompt evaluation
• Chronic disease management — including diabetes, hypertension, asthma, COPD, thyroid disorders, and high cholesterol
• Senior health — Medicare wellness visits, medication reviews, fall risk assessments, and management of age-related conditions
• Women's health — annual exams, contraception counseling, and routine gynecologic care
• Mental health screening and management — initial evaluation and ongoing management of anxiety, depression, and stress-related conditions

What You Can Expect from Care with Anugeeta

A family nurse practitioner who sees patients age 18 and above and can serve as the primary care provider for your entire household. That means one provider who understands your family's health history, tracks medications and immunizations across generations, and recognizes patterns that a provider seeing each person in isolation might miss. Anugeeta's certification through the AANP confirms she has met the national standards for family practice, and her training at Texas Woman's University prepared her for the full scope of primary care — from well-child visits to chronic disease management to senior wellness. For patients in the Santa Fe area looking for a primary care provider who is accepting new patients and takes Medicare, she offers an accessible starting point.

You can expect:

• A primary care provider who can see every member of your family — children through seniors — in one clinic
• Same-clinic access Monday through Friday for both routine and acute visits
• Preventive care and wellness exams tailored to your age, risk factors, and health history
• Ongoing management of chronic conditions with regular follow-up, lab monitoring, and medication adjustments
• Coordination with specialists and hospital services through the CHRISTUS Health network when your care needs go beyond primary care
