New Mexico Culture of Health
The New Mexico Culture of Health is an initiative to support county and tribal health councils to focus on building and enhancing the existing statewide network to become a durable, inclusive, engaged and effective community infrastructure for health equity. The NM Culture of Health Initiative will allow us to strengthen community engagement at local and state levels to address social, economic, racial, ethnic, and health inequities.
The Centering Equity Project
The Centering Equity Project is the next phase of the New Mexico Culture of Health project. The Centering EQT Project is the key component in the Racial Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Initiative (REDII) established by Everette Hill of the SISGroup, who will lead the process. Supporting partners include Eduardo Martinez (Meridian Strategies, Edgewood, NM) and Public Agenda (New York, NY). The REDII activities with NMAHC launched in late 2020 and is now moving to the second stage – seating a Design Group to lead NMAHC’s equity- and capacity-building efforts.

As an extension of our Culture of Health project, The Alliance is working with Democracy in Action to put on monthly workshops for health councils to build advocacy and community organizing skills.
