A Message from Governor Bill Richardson

Fellow New Mexicans:

New Mexico Health Guide will show you how to access This New Mexico’s network of health resources, from medical clinics to insurance coverage. It is a valuable resource of the many medical, dental and behavioral health services available through the State, private companies and non-profit organizations for people with little or no income or no insurance.

As Governor of New Mexico, I have made meeting the health care needs of all New Mexicans a priority. Be assured that I will continue to work to expand access to medical care and coverage with policymakers and the partners listed in this guide.

With warmest regards,

Bill Richardson Governor of the State of New Mexico new mexico health guide
