There is growing recognition that public health and health care need to work together differently to achieve mutual goals of cost containment, better quality of care and investments in upstream factors influencing health and well-being. There remain significant challenges to collaboration in New Mexico.

The New Mexico Public Health Institute hosted state-wide forums aimed at advancing collaboration among public health and health care sectors. This publications includes the findings of those forums and the next steps to advance health systems transformation to better integrate health systems, lower costs and improve population health.
