Supporting Community Health in New Mexico
Presbyterian Healthcare Services envisions a healthy New Mexico, and we exist to ensure all of the patients, members, and communities we serve can achieve their best health.
We are committed to addressing health equity in our communities by creating opportunities for good health and well-being for everyone. This means improving access to healthcare, behavioral health services, health insurance benefits, financial assistance, community support, healthy food options, and opportunities for physical activity. We recognize none of this is possible without working to eliminate barriers such as poverty, discrimination, and systems of oppression that contribute to health inequity.
Community Health is the bridge between healthcare and community to better understand health, support the conditions to thrive, and reduce inequities.

Health Equity
Presbyterian works to advance health equity by addressing barriers that affect the health and well-being of our patients, members and communities.
Community Informed Priorities
In alignment with the health needs of each community we serve, Presbyterian is focusing on three core priorities that help build conditions to thrive: Connections to Care, Healthy Lifestyle, and Healthy Communities.
Connections to Care
Of particular concern to our communities is Connections to Care – specifically, helping people navigate and better access healthcare and social services. This includes guiding individuals to behavioral health and substance use treatment, supporting them in overcoming barriers such as transportation, housing, and insurance, and connecting them with specialty care to address health-related social needs.
Healthy Lifestyle
Communities want to continue to focus on empowering changes that individuals and families can make to prevent and manage communicable and chronic conditions.
Healthy Communities
Conditions like safe drinking water, breathable air, a strong economy, and opportunities to earn better wages, as well as strong connections to each other, are essential for health.
Providing safe, compassionate, and equitable care, rooted in earning and maintaining trust, guides our community health programs, partnerships, and investment plans for 2026-2028.
