Yes, New Mexico has a health care worker shortageπŸ“‰. But don't just take it from us. Take it from the countless number of New Mexicans who have voiced their concerns about lengthy wait times or those who have said they have had to travel out-of-state to receive the care they need. πŸ₯

The bottom line: We have a shortage. But together, we can work together to strengthen laws that will not only attract new providers, but also keep the ones we currently have. πŸ‘©β€βš•οΈπŸ‘¨β€βš•οΈ

New Mexico, it's about time we adopt the compact for Physician Assistants! πŸš‘πŸ₯

Adopting the PA Compact, among other interstate licensure compacts for health care workers, will allow more health care providers to practice here in New Mexico.

What does that mean for you? More providers to choose from and shorter wait times. ⏳⏰
