On behalf of the New Mexico Alliance of Health Councils, the 33 County Health Councils and the 10 Tribal Health Councils, we extend our deepest gratitude for your support during the 2026 NM Legislative Session which was critical in enlisting legislative support for sustaining the current base funding (4M) to ensure this critical function of public health continues to serve communities statewide.

A extend a whole-hearted thank you to Governor Grisham, Lt. Governor Morales, Senator Munoz and Senator Shendo, and members of Senate Finance and House Appropriations committees for their support and collective leadership. Their collective dedication demonstrates a clear commitment to the health and wellbeing of New Mexicans in every corner of our state — from rural, urban, and frontier communities to Tribes, Nations, and Pueblos. Because of your support, County and Tribal Health Councils can continue serving as trusted health hubs, community conveners for coordinating multi-sector partners for bridging gaps in services, addressing behavioral health and social determinants of health, and ensuring that local voices shape solutions that improve population health and wellbeing.
