Number of Firms in the Industry
Once known as the place to take the Santa Fe Cure many newcomers migrated here in the early 20th Century for health reasons Today, people still seek its crisp, clean air and dry, nourishing climate Today, it is one of the largest centers of holistic medicine Industry estimates range from around 2000 to 8000 practitioners of traditional, complimentary and alternative medicine Consistently ranked as one of the top places to retire, Santa Fe has a particular interest in creating a healthy environment As the demographics shift to increase the percentage of older residents and decrease the Hispanic population, investigation into traditional, complimentary and alternative healing methods will continue Note:
Trends show Hispanics in New Mexico tend to utilize less formal methods of alternative healing, thus avoiding industrial paths of recognition such as gross receipts taxes One of the key issues with cluster identification is the variety of practitioners in the area who self-classify in the category For organizational purposes, a variety of different approaches were taken, primarily in terms of service provided and whether conventional or alternative medical therapies are applied Department of Labor classifications did not always apply, and crossover disciplines made it difficult to determine how individuals would self-classify Additionally, no information was given as to whether or not classified individuals are licensed or certified to practice medicine or alternative therapies in the state of New Mexico The decision was made to count all practitioners, and then recommend the reader exercise caution when approaching individual practitioners Often overlooked are the contributions a
medical community makes in a community the size of Santa Fe As a regional base for traditional medical treatment and nationally recognized for alternative therapies, the medical cluster has long been a significant contributor to Santa Fes economy The National Institutes of Health recognizes Complimentary and Alternative Medicine CAM as a viable medical field, enabling traditional research in the fields through funding While many disciplines in CAM are regulated and recognized, many therapies still lie in a different realm
Contribution to Santa Fes Economy Gross Receipts Taxes
New Mexico health practitioners are frustrated with the unique-in-the-nation requirement to pay gross receipts taxes While Hawaii has a gross receipts tax on medical services, it is 2 and is dedicated to indigent medical care while New Mexico doctors pay around 6, nearly all of which goes into the states general fund New Mexico Business Weekly, June 2003 Medical gross receipts taxes account for approximately 5
of the total GRT revenue, indicating the City of Santa Fe would have to reduce the general fund monies from gross receipts taxes by 5, should this tax be revoked While there is some effort in the state legislature to do so, it has not yet passed The total amount is an estimated 16 to 20 million for the statewide collections The New Mexico Health Policy Commission estimates that slightly more than half of the 6100 registered physicians still have active practices in New Mexico More than a third of the physicians are registered here, but reside outside the state in order to avoid gross receipts taxes, income taxes, and the lower Medicare reimbursements levied in this state Because of most insurance reimbursement policies, the gross receipts tax cannot be passed on to patients

Complementary and Alternative Medicine
In addition, a number of local practitioners follow the precepts of the following
They are less likely to be regulated and more difficult to study Complementary and alternative medicine, as defined by NCCAM National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, found under the auspices of the National Institute of Health, is a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional medicine1,2 While some scientific evidence exists regarding some CAM therapies, for most there are key questions that are yet to be answered through well-designed scientific studies–questions such as whether they are safe and whether they work for the diseases or medical conditions for which they are used The list of what is considered to be CAM changes continually, as those therapies that are proven to be safe and effective become adopted into conventional health care and as new approaches to health care emerge Complementary medicine is used together with conventional medicine An example of a
complementary therapy is using aromatherapy to help lessen a patients discomfort following surgery Alternative medicine is used in place of conventional medicine An example of an alternative therapy is using a special diet to treat cancer instead of undergoing surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy that has been recommended by a conventional doctor Integrative medicine, as defined by NCCAM, combines mainstream medical therapies and CAM therapies for which there is some high-quality scientific evidence of safety and effectiveness
Santa Fe Economic Development, Inc Medical Practitioners Cluster Report Page 3
NCCAM classifies CAM therapies into five categories, or domains: 1 Alternative Medical Systems Alternative medical systems are built upon complete systems of theory and practice Often, these systems have evolved apart from and earlier than the conventional medical approach used in the United States Examples of alternative medical systems that have developed in Western cultures
include homeopathic medicine and naturopathic medicine Examples of systems that have developed in non-Western cultures include traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda 2 Mind-Body Interventions Mind-body medicine uses a variety of techniques designed to enhance the minds capacity to affect bodily function and symptoms Some techniques that were considered CAM in the past have become mainstream for example, patient support groups and cognitive-behavioral therapy Other mind-body techniques are still considered CAM, including meditation, prayer, mental healing, and therapies that use creative outlets such as art, music, or dance 3 Biologically Based Therapies Biologically based therapies in CAM use substances found in nature, such as herbs, foods, and vitamins Some examples include dietary supplements,3 herbal products, and the use of other so-called natural but as yet scientifically unproven therapies for example, using shark cartilage to treat cancer 4 Manipulative and Body-Based
Methods Manipulative and body-based methods in CAM are based on manipulation and/or movement of one or more parts of the body Some examples include chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation, and massage 5 Energy Therapies Energy therapies involve the use of energy fields They are of two types: Biofield therapies are intended to affect energy fields that purportedly surround and penetrate the human body The existence of such fields has not yet been scientifically proven Some forms of energy therapy manipulate biofields by applying pressure and/or manipulating the body by placing the hands in, or through, these fields Examples include qi gong, Reiki, and Therapeutic Touch Bioelectromagnetic-based therapies involve the unconventional use of electromagnetic fields, such as pulsed fields, magnetic fields, or alternating current or direct current fields
____________ 1
Conventional medicine is medicine as practiced by holders of MD medical doctor or DO doctor of osteopathy degrees and by
their allied health professionals, such as physical therapists, psychologists, and registered nurses Other terms for conventional medicine include allopathy; Western, mainstream, orthodox, and regular medicine; and biomedicine Some conventional medical practitioners are also practitioners of CAM
Other terms for complementary and alternative medicine include unconventional, non-conventional, unproven, and irregular medicine or health care Some uses of dietary supplements have been incorporated into conventional medicine For example, scientists have found that folic acid prevents certain birth defects, and a regimen of vitamins and zinc can slow the progression of an eye disease called age-related macular degeneration AMD

Due to the unregulated nature of the industry, the above are the only classifications available New Mexico does not monitor additional job classifications and some are flying below the radar Availability and Sufficiency of Training Programs Schools in Santa Fe There are a number of alternative therapy and courses available in Santa Fe While this list is by no means comprehensive, it
lists the schools with the largest numbers of enrollees Santa Fe also benefits from the proximity of UNM Medical School, which has added an Internal Medicine curriculum in Integrative Medicine based on the Mandala of Health Physical, Social/Mental, Spiritual, and Emotional Scherer Institute of Natural Healing Core Curriculum The Healing Quality of Touch Nurturing, Therapeutic Massage Medical Massage and Connective Tissue Bodywork Energy Work Modalities, including Shiatsu, Intuitive Massage, Cranio-Sacral, and Polarity Anatomy, Physiology, Pathophysiology Business and Professional Development Clinical Internship Related Healing Arts Chair Massage Recognizing Trauma Naturopathic Principles and Techniques, including Bach Flower Remedies, Aromatherapy, Hydrotherapy, Facilitated Stretching, Herbal Medicine, and Reflexology Process Skills and Community Building New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts Listed Curriculum: Massage Therapy Somatic Polarity Therapy Ortho-Bionomy Cranial

Opportunities for Economic Diversity
Santa Fe Economic
Development, Inc Medical Practitioners Cluster Report Page 10
Since this cluster has been primarily attracting its own national and international attention, and organized effort has not been made to publicize and promote it as an industry Small efforts have been made in this regard, but a comprehensive approach could increase attention and revenue for the region
Opportunities to bring dollars into the region
As a center for holistic health, Santa Fe could attract not only those businesses involved in direct treatment, but also the more lucrative manufacturing and development businesses that fit within our economic scope Work is being accomplished to try to continue to recruit complimentary businesses While tourism contributes to the economy, it does have the dollar/impact value of other industries that may be attracted by innovative research at Sandia National Laboratory and with some of the health-related complexity businesses in the area
Ability to maintain the special
character of Santa Fe
This industry is part of the special character of Santa Fe
Medical cluster cultivation: progress to date Cluster activation
Santa Fe Economic Development, Inc SFEDI has been working with biomedicine through the biotechnology cluster to begin to diversify and strengthen this cluster While many attempts have been made to enable the traditional, complimentary, and alternative practitioners to collaborate, this is the most difficult cluster to date to organize due to the differing priorities by each of the individual practitioners The collaborative practitioners have continued efforts on their own to communicate and education all workers of health Action steps completed 1 The medical cluster has met to discuss issues and raised the gross receipts tax issue as the primary concern Next action steps 2 The medical cluster continues to lobby to eliminate the gross receipts tax on medical services 3 Find more areas for collaboration
Cluster support
SFEDI continues to work
with collaborative businesses and practitioners to create a healthier Santa Fe when support for the industry is needed
Challenges
While many of the nationally known practitioners are in the area, they are often in demand in other parts of the country more dedicated to healthy communities Without support for this industry from a variety of constituencies: education, civic leaders, and community groups, it will continue to reside primarily as a gross receipts tax issue, rather than a thriving industry
