You. Better.
We are a nonprofit organization that envisions communities in Northern New Mexico where health and well-being is a fundamental right.
Health, which is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing, and not merely the absense of disease or infirmity,
is a fundamental human right
and the attainment of the highest possible level of health is a most important world-wide social goal whose realization requires
the action of many other social and economic sectors
in addition to the health sector.
-World Health Organization Alma-Ata Declaration
Our Mission
Building pathways to
mental, physical, and social well-being
by providing community-based programs and services to eliminate barriers to health.
We accomplish our mission by providing:
-
Education about fall prevention, healthy eating, and diabetes/hypertension management
-
Workshops on health behavior change
-
Specific education to higher needs populations (perinatal, adults with disabilities, aging, and those with chronic diseases)
-
Opportunities for community members to exercise in a supportive, accessible environment
-
Mentorship programs for fitness professionals, nurses, and medical students
-
Coordination of the Rio Arriba Community Health Council
We ensure that our services are available to all by offering free childcare during most programming, sliding scale memberships, and creating safe spaces so that all bodies, despite injury, health status, or illness, have the opportunity to achieve health and wellness.
