Jennifer Trujillo and Cassandra Otero, the founders of Valencia Health and Wellness, believe it is their mission to empower their fellow Valencia County residents to live their healthiest lives possible by utilizing a collaborative and personalized approach to family medicine. Rather than just treating the daily symptoms of chronic disease states, Valencia Health and Wellness focuses on and teaches patients how to obtain true wellness. Cassandra and Jennifer promote preventative care by encouraging their patients to make long term lifestyle choices and changes that will improve their overall physical health and mental well-being.
Valencia Health and Wellness offers family health care services with a focus on wellness and prevention of disease. Our clinic has two licensed medical practitioners, Cassandra and Jennifer, both of whom have a long history in family medicine. They are fully licensed in the state of New Mexico to practice medicine. This includes seeing patients, ordering diagnostic studies and labs, and prescribing medications. Cassandra and Jennifer are NCCPA certified. They are certified in implantable birth control, perform CDL/DOT medical exams and are certified by Allergan in the use of therapeutic Botox treatments. The clinic will also have a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Doctor of Oriental Medicine and a Licensed Massage Therapist.
