Whole-Person In-Home Care for New Mexico Energy Workers
United Energy Workers Healthcare provides purposeful, whole-person, in-home care for eligible New Mexico energy and uranium workers, including those who worked at sites such as Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) near Carlsbad, and uranium mining and milling locations in areas like Grants, Ambrosia Lake, and surrounding communities, as well as other approved Department of Energy and covered work sites across the state. We work alongside you, your family, and your providers to support care that honors your health, dignity, and independence—showing up with consistency, follow-through, and unwavering compassion.
Whether support is connected to EEOICPA, RECA, or both, our personalized, in-home care and thoughtful coordination help ensure care is aligned with your needs, goals, and the life you want to live at home.
Who May Qualify for EEOICPA in New Mexico?
The Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA) and the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) are federal programs created to support energy and uranium workers who became ill due to work-related or radiation exposure. Eligibility depends on where and when you worked, the type of work performed, and your medical diagnosis.
In New Mexico, individuals who worked at Department of Energy facilities such as the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) near Carlsbad, and uranium mining and milling locations in areas like Grants, Ambrosia Lake, or for covered contractors or subcontractors, may qualify for EEOICPA if they later developed a covered illness related to occupational exposure. RECA may provide separate financial compensation for eligible uranium workers who meet specific work history and illness criteria. While the programs are distinct, some individuals may qualify for support under one or both, depending on their circumstances.
If you are unsure which program may apply to you, you are not alone. Our team is here to listen, provide clarity, and help you understand possible next steps—so you can move forward with confidence, dignity, and peace of mind.

For more than a decade, we have been honored to serve energy workers and their families across New Mexico, standing beside them with purposeful, in-home care that supports dignity, independence, and life at home. What began as a promise to care for our own has grown into a trusted commitment to energy workers nationwide.

Who We Serve
United Energy Workers Healthcare serves New Mexico energy and uranium workers who may be eligible for support under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA) or the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA). This includes individuals who worked at covered Department of Energy facilities or for approved contractors and later developed a qualifying illness related to occupational or radiation exposure.
In New Mexico, energy workers who were employed at sites such as the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) near Carlsbad, and uranium mining and milling locations in areas like Grants, Ambrosia Lake, and diagnosed with certain cancers, chronic silicosis, beryllium sensitivity, or chronic beryllium disease may qualify under EEOICPA. RECA may provide separate financial compensation for eligible uranium workers who meet specific work history and illness criteria. Eligibility depends on where and when you worked and your medical diagnosis.
If you already have an EEOICPA White Card, you have the right to choose your in-home care provider. If you are still exploring your options or wondering which program may apply, our team is here to provide clarity and help you understand possible next steps—so you can move forward with confidence, dignity, and peace of mind.
