The Otero County Health Profile, created in partnership with the NM Community Data Collaborative, provides data on 17 equity indicators linked to health council priorities for their community. Equity is defined as everyone having the opportunity to reach their “full health potential” without disadvantage from “socially determined circumstances.” A listing of health profiles for all counties is available here.

COVID-19 Vaccine Update. It’s official! COVID-19 vaccinations are now available for children 5 and older. The vaccines – 1/3 the adult dose - are safe and highly effective at preventing serious COVID complications and death. In addition, side effects are milder than in older children. DOH encourages parents and guardians of children in this age group to schedule their children’s vaccinations through their primary health care provider or through the Dept. of Health’s VaccineNM website.

Meet Flo, a 40-foot Winnebago turned into a mobile nurse's station. She's Alamogordo Public Schools' most lauded health care provider, purchased with CARES funding. Her most frequent passenger? School nurse Lisa Patch, who is also the health services director for the rural school district just 80 miles from the Mexican border. Patch, who has been working in health care for 23 years, had the wild idea to turn the old motorhome into a force to fight coronavirus and help keep kids healthy. So far, it's working.

The Otero County Community Health Council recently published its latest Fact Sheet, which explains its current priorities and activities to help ensure the health and wellbeing of all Otero County residents. A companion video provides highlights of the year 2021 in review. The Health Council also helped inform the 2019 Community Health Assessment for Otero County. Follow the OCCHC on Facebook. Participate in and support your local health council!

 

100% Otero  is a local initiative to eliminate childhood trauma by improving access to 10 vital services: food, housing, medical/dental care, behavioral health care, transportation, parent supports, early childhood learning, community schools, youth mentors and job training. The group has conducted a survey of Barriers to Vital Services, and the Gerald Champion Regional Health Center has published a Community Health Needs Assessment and Implementation Strategy for the County.
