Welcome to the New Mexico Alliance for
School-Based Health Care!
New Mexico has more than 80 school-based health centers (SBHCs) bringing health care to where students are — in school. SBHCs provide comprehensive health services, so students can avoid health-related absences and get support to succeed in school. SBHCs give students medical and behavioral health attention when they need it, catching problems like asthma, diabetes and depression now, preventing bigger problems later.
The New Mexico Alliance for School-Based Health Care represents school-based health centers in New Mexico and collaborates with other school health partners to promote, facilitate, and advocate for comprehensive, culturally competent health care in schools.
OptumHealth
Optum is the new statewide entity for behavioral health in New Mexico. They are offering training that SBHCs can take advantage of. More at: optumhealthnewmexico.com/providers
