The OPPORTUNITY

NMAHC is tackling New Mexico’s public health challenges by supporting County and Tribal Health Councils, a critical function of public health in concert with key partners, serving communities and improving population health statewide. As the backbone organization to Health Councils, the Alliance provides year-round advocacy, systems collaboration and networking opportunities, and informs policies for advancing health equity.

In 2024, NMAHC's advocacy efforts led to a historic $3 million state allocation for Health Councils in fiscal year 2025 (July 2024 - May 2025) — a 450% increase and the first major investment in over 13 years. However, the Alliance’s year-round advocacy efforts is enlisting the Executive Branch and Legislators to reinstate recurring optimal funding to leverage Health Councils’ instrumental role and impact, fortifying public health statewide.

With Your Investment, we can ensure Health Councils’ meaningful work is valued and state investments are sustained.
