NMHCA/NMCAL advocates for quality care and services for frail, elderly and disabled in New Mexico's

02/03/2026

NMHCA/NMCAL members spent valuable time engaging with New Mexico lawmakers to highlight the growing need for increased funding for nursing and rehabilitation centers serving individuals with behavioral health needs. As more patients in our centers are living with mental illness, substance use disorders, or a combination of both, the demand for resources and support continues to rise. Ensuring our patients receive quality care, and that our dedicated staff have the tools they need, remains a top priority. We are thankful for our committed members and the NMHCA/NMCAL team who continue to advocate for New Mexico’s centers, patients, and caregivers. Your leadership and dedication help move our industry forward!
