How we help
As a public health institute we develop research, support leadership, and build partnerships for effective health policy and practice — plus targeted services and training for nonprofits, small governments, and communities.
Services
We help nonprofits, small governments, and communities navigate public health funding and research, strengthen administration, develop leadership, manage stakeholder engagement and succession, and stand up community-driven behavioral health response.
Administrative support that lets small organizations do bigger work.
Turning systemic behavioral health issues into workable local policy.
Evidence-based response teams that improve health and justice outcomes.
Use our library, or build new research with us.
Programs
Our program structures span workforce development and education, prevention, county and tribal lands health councils, and drought and climate impact consulting. Prevention programs and health councils serve all residents and are generally grant funded.
Healthcare jobs matter everywhere, and even more so in remote and rural New Mexico where certified professionals are scarce. We support learners from middle school through post-graduate practice.
Wellness is the first step in improving public health. By engaging communities before health effects occur, we change the trajectory for individuals and whole counties.
A local health council gives a community one place to identify, prioritize, and solve its own concerns — and a direct channel to political leaders.
Tell us about your community and we will match you with the right program, service, or partner.
