Capacity Building
We believe that capacity building is valuable and important to build long-term impacts by strengthening skills, knowledge, and resources that can enhance community engagement and the partnerships’ collective ability to address health disparities. It is the goal of this coalition to support capacity building in areas of policy, advocacy, community-based participatory research, and grant development.
Policy and Advocacy
We believe giving a voice to our most vulnerable is essential to what we do. It is the commitment of the NMHEC to advance policies and practices that address social determinants of health to work alongside cross-sectoral partners and members to bring light to community concerns and issues.

- Identifying and contributing to interdisciplinary research needs that address the intersection between social determinants and health
