Health & Wellness Initiative
Addressing the social impediments of health to improve overall community wellbeing.
The social impediments to health, often referred to as social determinants of health (SDOH), are the non-medical factors that significantly influence health outcomes. These factors encompass a wide range of social, economic, and environmental conditions that shape the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age.
These include but are not limited to:
Income Inequality/Poverty
Affordable Housing/Homelessness
Food Insecurity
Access/Transportation
Education
Health Literacy
Environmental Factors
Community Economic Vitality
Neighborhoods and Built Environment
Discrimination and Social Exclusion
2025 sees the launch of a new, 5-year initiative focused on improving the health and wellbeing of communities throughout Northern New Mexico.
Through a partnership with the Anchorum Health Foundation of Santa Fe, more than $3 million over the next five years is available to invest in community-based projects to improve health and wellness in San Miguel and Mora Counties – a beacon of hope as we continue to rebuild and thrive after the devastating fires of 2022 and consequent floods.
More than just funding, this initiative is about sparking a community-wide conversation about what wellness truly means for us Norteños. We invite you to join us on this journey of self-discovery and collective action to improve the baseline for wellness and promote healthier communities across the region.
The inaugural grant cycle for this initiative will officially open in February 2025, so stay tuned for more details to come!
Let's make 2025 the year we prioritize our health and well-being, both individually and as a community!
