Our mission is to provide education and coalition building that increases community participation, and leadership, in public health policy and clinical care provision.
We believe that interventions working to improve health outcomes, must be deeply rooted in and influenced by the expertise, leadership and lived experience of the communities most impacted.
BHNM is dedicated to providing greater access to information from the New Mexico Department of Health, local organizations, local nonprofits, and local & national health professionals to improve health. It is also a resource for people and organizations nationally working to improve community health through collaborative grassroots efforts. We work to address high health disparity rates through innovative and collaborative community driven programming and solutions.
Communities and institutions can change outcomes for themselves and the people they serve by replacing outdated notions of charity and external expertise with culturally competent reverence for the community itself.
Using creative, collaborative and accountable strategies for birthing something new, we can help you with this process.
If newness is frightening we will challenge that fear with a bold joy for change, heart centered tenacity and an underlying confidence in new ways of approaching old problems.
Let's turn public health right side up, it's time to change the way we approach community health and intervention.
