Hidalgo County Health Council

This health council works to help create healthy and sustainable communities, improved health and healthcare access, and ultimately health equity and health promotion in Hidalgo County. By providing a structure to identify local community health needs, establish community priorities, and to develop and implement local solutions, we work to improve the health, well-being and quality of life for everyone in the county. We are the boots on the ground in our communities and strive to be a valuable source of insight about local issues, and a partner to help connect ideas and solutions. Members of the health council include representatives of various community sectors such as healthcare providers, schools, public health officials, health advocates, healthcare consumers, and community members.

Grant County Community Health Council

This health council serves as a community “umbrella” for local entities to gather resources, discuss priorities, problem solve, and develop solutions regarding pertinent public and behavioral health community issues. The support of various organizations and government officials play an important role in this work. We serve community members and leaders including youth, parents, businesses, media, schools, youth serving organizations, law enforcement, civic volunteer groups, faith-based organizations, healthcare, state/local government/tribal entities, and substance misuse organizations. We connect with different organizations and county partners by participating in outreach events, engaging in/ attending local meetings/initiatives, and holding monthly GCCHC meetings on the third Thursday of each month. Our partners help guide this community-based work and act as a driving force behind these initiatives.

Climate Change Health Impacts & Community Action

High exposure to poor water quality and extreme climate events – as well as demographic, social and behavioral issues including housing, transportation, infrastructure, socioeconomic status, age, and disability – make populations of color more vulnerable to the short and long-term health effects of drought. We offer policy strategies and solutions to reduce structural racism, improve health outcomes and increase access to services that mitigate factors contributing to it. Six health councils were selected and identified as being at high risk for health-related impacts of drought: Bernalillo, Cibola, Quay, Santa Clara, Santo Domingo and San Ildefonso. We provide these health councils with the tools and techniques to build community engagement for equitable data-driven policy and practice decisions, and to effectively address structural barriers contributing to health disparities and structural racism.
