New Mexico First Will Facilitate Community Health Meetings Around the State
New Mexico First will facilitate community health forums in Espanola, Clovis, Tucumcari, Ruidoso, Rio Rancho, Albuquerque and Las Lunas for community members, local healthcare providers, hospital administrators, and public health officials to share their thoughts about community-based initiatives that can improve the health of community members.
Presbyterian Healthcare Services has worked with its five regional hospitals and their Community Boards of Trustees to conduct community needs assessments and develop health priorities that affect New Mexicans. Although many health needs are common throughout the state, each community can be unique when implementing strategies for addressing these needs. Health forums will be held in the following communities:
