The Program
The Health Equity and Community Rebuilding Program is supported by CDC and Kellogg funding. Participating county and tribal health councils work on community collaboration and engagement to identify and address local vaccine equity goals (in Year 1) and focus on community rebuilding and equity (in Year 2).
Key partners include:
New Mexico Alliance of Health Councils
New Mexico Department of Health
Center for Health Innovation
Community Health Worker Initiative
The grant is for two years, with the possibility of 3rd-year funding for sustainability.
The work is centered around COVID-19 outreach, education, and support for vaccination activities in rural, tribal, and higher-risk populations. NMAHC staff will be coordinating support for health councils, assessing COVID-19 activities, successes, challenges, and contributing to a comprehensive report detailing how the project can be replicated and sustained in NM counties and tribal communities.
