Care that meets you where you are.

Nexus Center for IDD Care is a sensory-friendly phlebotomy clinic designed for individuals who need a little extra patience, care, and understanding.

Opening Soon in New Mexico

Born from a family's experience.

For many individuals with special needs, something as routine as a blood draw can be an overwhelming and stressful experience. We know this firsthand.

Nexus Center was inspired by our own family's journey navigating blood draws with our son, who faces significant challenges during these procedures. We saw how the standard clinical environment simply wasn't built for people like him—and we knew there had to be a better way.

We're building the place we wish had existed—a clinic where every patient gets the time, the environment, and the compassion they need to feel safe.

Designed around your comfort.

Personalized from Day One

Every client gets a custom comfort plan built around their unique needs, preferences, and pace. No two visits look the same—because no two people are the same.

Trust Before Procedures

We build a relationship first. Through intake sessions and gradual exposure visits, clients feel safe and ready long before any blood draw happens.

Sensory-Friendly Spaces

Adjustable lighting, calming sounds, and a warm environment built to minimize sensory overload. This isn't a typical clinic—it's a place designed to feel safe.
