Subject: Please support funding for NM County & Tribal Health Councils

Dear [Recipient],

I am writing to urge your support for New Mexico's County and Tribal Health Councils and the NM Alliance of Health Councils.

Health Councils are the local backbone of New Mexico's public health system. They conduct Community Health Assessments, implement Community Health Improvement Plans, and directly inform the State Health Improvement Plan. This work identifies health disparities, surfaces local assets, and drives equitable strategies that reach rural, Tribal, and underserved communities across the state.

Health Councils also support New Mexico's Public Health Accreditation, demonstrating the state's capacity to deliver essential public health functions.

As your constituent, I am asking you to prioritize the funding and sustainability of County and Tribal Health Councils in the year ahead. This network represents a proven, community-driven approach to improving health outcomes, advancing equity, and building resilient communities in every corner of New Mexico.

Thank you for your leadership and your service to our state.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Your City, NM]
