Coalition Partners
Women’s Health Services was awarded a Coalition for Healthier Communities grant by the HHS/Office of Women’s Health in September 2010. We are partnering with Tewa Women United, Young Women United and various State, County and City partners, building on the existing NM Governor’s Council on Women’s Health. The Coalition will conduct a community needs assessment and sex- and gender analysis to identify issues impacting the health of women in New Mexico, with a diversity lens that prioritizes the diversity and other social determinants of health of women. While the scope of analysis will be statewide, the activities will be focused on communities with a high percentage of Native American and Hispanic/Latina women. The results will inform the creation of a strategic action plan, implementation plan, and evaluation plan to implement evidenced-based interventions through a public health approach with the goal of increasing healthy behaviors among women in the community.
