Anchorum Health Foundation Strengthens Native Nation Building in New Mexico

The Anchorum Health Foundation (the Foundation) provides leadership and support for advancing Indigenous nation building and improving the social determinants of health of Indigenous people living in New Mexico through its work with Indigenous-led organisations by moving from focusing on building partnerships with hospitals toward focusing on creating partnerships within the local communities. The Foundation will partner with Indigenous-led organisations to support funding for housing, assist with navigating Tribal laws, and assist in preserving and sharing indigenous knowledge systems. These efforts by the Foundation will build the ability of Tribes to self-govern, establish greater trust between the community and the provider, and create general equalities in housing and health care as well as overall well-being within the community.
