About the Forum: 

The NMPHA Annual Health Policy Legislative Forum provides a unique opportunity for organizations and individuals working to improve community health to come together, learn, discuss timely issues, and share their legislative proposals for the upcoming legislative session. Organizations are given a chance to make brief statements about their legislative proposals, and a booklet containing summary information about their proposals is distributed widely. Participants can identify allies and possible collaborators, as well as request support from NMPHA and other participating organizations.


Highlights of the 2016 Forum include:

Our morning panel will include a plenary panel talking about stories of successful policy changes "from the bottom up"  as well as the presentation of legislative proposals.  

Our keynote speaker, Dr. Jamal Martin is the Director for the Peace and Justice Studies, Faculty-Africana Studies/Family Community Medicine and Senior Fellow for the Robert Wood Johnson Center for Health Policy at the University of New Mexico.

Afternoon breakout sessions, to feature workshops on Medicaid Expansion, State Level Advocacy, Behavioral Healthcare in New Mexico, and many more!
