New Mexico, let's celebrate! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

It's a big day for health care in our state, with both HB99- Medical Malpractice Reform and HB66 - Enhancing student loan repayments for health care workers, taking effect today!

We are optimistic that these new laws will help retain our current providers and attract new ones, so that New Mexicans can finally receive the timely and quality health care that they deserve! πŸ’™πŸ’™ ... See MoreSee Less

πŸ’²Financial literacyπŸ’² is one of the most important skills that we can teach our students. However, not all students have access to financial literacy courses. In a recent Wall Street Journal column, it's mentioned that most financial literacy classes begin as elective courses, often started by "by one passionate teacher who builds their own curriculum."

In New Mexico, momentum around financial literacy is growing. As of today, 63% of New Mexico students are reached by financial literacy curriculum in either a semester or year-long required course! We are making progress! πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ

This year, four more states have adopted the Physician Assistant Licensure Compact. These states now have a better chance at receiving federal dollars to support their rural hospitals and clinics.

New Mexico, however, still remains out of this compact, despite efforts to join it during the 2026 legislative session. This puts federal money for our rural health care providers at risk. ... See MoreSee Less
