This requires addressing structural and institutionalized inequities based on race, class, gender and geography.

Goal 2

Raise awareness, gain and retain the support of bi-national, tribal, state, regional, municipal, and community leaders, decision makers and elected officials to ensure health and equity is considered

Goal 3

Strengthen the capacity of community groups, organizations and members directly affected by health inequities to advocate for health equity and to address structural and institutionalized inequities based on race, class, gender and geography.

Goal 4

Confirm NMHEP’s organizational structure, leadership structure and financial model and to identify funding partners and sources beyond the 18-month transition period.
