Centro Savila

What Centro Savila does

Centro Sávila is a 501(c)(3) community-based outpatient mental health provider headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, operating under the umbrella nonprofit The Savila Collaborative. Founded in 2011 by Dr. Bill Wagner, a Clinical Social Worker and Cultural Anthropologist, the organization delivers mental health, case management, and benefits enrollment services to Hispanic, immigrant, refugee, and non-native English-speaking populations in Bernalillo County. Services are offered in up to nine languages on a sliding-fee scale, with no client denied service due to inability to pay. The organization accepts more than 10 insurance payors (including BCBS Centennial, Western Sky, Presbyterian Centennial, CHIP, Molina, and United Healthcare) and supplements revenue with county, state, and federal grants alongside foundation funding from the WK Kellogg Foundation, McCune Foundation, Con Alma Health Foundation, United Way, and individual donations.

The core service platform comprises four programs: outpatient therapy (individual, couples, family) delivered by bilingual clinicians trained in trauma-informed care and EMDR; case management with systems navigation for housing, food security, medical insurance, and documentation; benefits enrollment (Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, LIHEAP, TANF, rental assistance); and the evidence-based High-Fidelity Wraparound (HFW) care coordination model for youth and families in multiple systems. Supplementary offerings include culturally tailored educational groups (Raíces de Resiliencia, Conexiones Familiares: Creciendo Juntos, Youth Advocacy Program, Abriendo Puertas) and bilingual support groups (grief, women's). Service delivery uses a standard mental health EMR with telehealth capability, in-person visits across four physical locations (Main Office on Isleta Blvd, Hopkins Center, Downtown Centro, and Annex Building), and school-based programs.

The go-to-market is community-led: outreach occurs via 20+ partner organizations, school partnerships, healthcare provider referrals, and public benefit enrollment assistance, with no traditional paid acquisition. Centro Sávila has scaled from 1 to 4 locations and 5 to 30 employees since 2014, is planning a fifth clinic in the South Valley with Bernalillo County and State of New Mexico support, and reports no M&A, private equity, or venture capital involvement. The board is chaired by James Jimenez, with Farah Council chairing External Affairs, Luana Vigil as Treasurer, and additional nonprofit-sector directors.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Charlie Health: Outpatient / virtual intensive outpatient mental health provider focused on adolescents, young adults, and families — comparable evidence-based, family-centered treatment model at national scale and a direct threat as a virtual alternative to in-person wraparound care.
• Brightside Health: Telehealth outpatient mental health provider accepting insurance and serving diverse populations; comparable outpatient therapy + medication-management model that competes for the same Medicaid / commercial patient pool without geographic constraints.
• Thriveworks: National outpatient mental health practice offering therapy, psychiatry, and life-coaching services — comparable outpatient model with broad insurance acceptance and serves as a private-sector benchmark for what scaled outpatient mental health access looks like.

Direct peers

• First Nations Community HealthSource: Albuquerque-based FQHC providing integrated primary care, behavioral health, and social services with cultural and linguistic specialization for Native American populations — directly comparable operating model, sliding-fee billing, and community-health-center structure to Centro Sávila in the same geography.
• Southwest CARE Center: Santa Fe-based FQHC providing integrated primary care, mental health, and case management services in northern New Mexico; comparable outpatient community-health-center model serving diverse, underserved populations.
• Casa de Salud: Albuquerque-based community health and social services organization serving low-income and immigrant populations; explicitly listed as a Centro Sávila partner. Comparable model combining case management, benefits enrollment, and clinical services for similar populations.
• El Centro Family Health: New Mexico FQHC network providing outpatient medical, behavioral health, and case management across rural and underserved areas; directly comparable as a community-health-center peer with sliding-fee scale and grant-funded operations.

Others

• Public Allies of New Mexico: National nonprofit placing young leaders in paid apprenticeships at community organizations; serves as a partner / talent pipeline for Centro Sávila. Adjacent rather than competing, but operationally comparable in the NM nonprofit ecosystem and a useful comparator for workforce-development funding models.

Regional players

• Presbyterian Community Health: Largest NM-based health system offering outpatient behavioral health and community programs; competes for Medicaid lives in the same Albuquerque market and represents the scale-incumbent competitor for community-based behavioral health.
• UNM Health Sciences Center — Office for Community Health: Academic / county-funded entity that operates as both a Centro Sávila partner and a competing provider of community health worker and behavioral health services in Bernalillo County; comparable mission footprint and population focus at greater scale.
