San Xavier Health Center

San Xavier Health Center is a hospital in Tucson, AZ, located at 7900 S J Stock Rd. It operates as part of the Indian Health Service, the principal federal health care provider for American Indians and Alaska Natives. The facility is situated in the San Xavier District of the Tohono O'odham reservation, off Interstate 19 at exit 92. It provides outpatient primary care to Tohono O'odham members and other eligible American Indians. Estimates indicate the center handles around 67,000 outpatient care visits annually, serves a user population of 8,000, and employs 70 staff members.

The San Xavier compound covers 25 acres and includes the health center along with Tucson Area IHS administrative and environmental health and engineering offices. The permanent buildings were constructed in the early 1930s as components of a tuberculosis hospital. The two-story SX Sanatorium was built in 1931 with 21 beds, while surrounding structures served as nurses' and physician quarters, a head doctor's home, and supplementary facilities such as a fire station and greenhouse. When the Sells Hospital burned down in 1947, the SX Sanatorium functioned as a general hospital until a new facility was completed in the early 1960s. By 1955, the Public Health Service took charge of health service delivery, and the site began operating under that agency.

Clinical services available at the center include cardiology, colposcopy, dental care, diabetes management, vision screening via telemedicine, laboratory services, mammography, minor skin procedures, nephrology, nutrition counseling, ophthalmology, optometry, a pediatric development clinic, general pediatrics including teens, pharmacy, physical therapy, podiatry, perinatology and prenatal ultrasounds, primary care services covering prevention, chronic conditions, prenatal care, well-child care, and women's health, a prosthetics clinic, radiology, rheumatology, a shoe clinic, social work, and a tuberculosis clinic. Additional offerings include prenatal classes, car seat distribution, and group lifestyle balance classes focused on healthy eating and exercise. Outpatient clinic hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8 am to 5 pm, and Wednesday from 1 pm to 5 pm.

The location sits about a mile from the Nogales-Tucson Highway and near the Santa Cruz River, Martinez Hill, Hughes Wash, and Franco Wash. It is approximately half a mile from the Indian Health Service Tucson Area facility. San Xavier Health Center holds a rating of 3.10 based on 56 reviews.
