Vision 2020 creates the first academic health center strategic plan that focuses on improving a state’s population’s health and health equity as a measure of the institution’s success. To fulfill this Vision, all colleges, schools, departments and programs at UNM HSC have incorporated into their annual performance plans how their education, service and research enterprises will measurably improve the health of New Mexico.

The Vision 2020 Symposium #2 was a great success!

There were about 200 people in and out throughout the day with some fantastic discussion in the breakouts and in the hallways... We are excited to move forward with the recommendations and visit communities throughout the state. See photos.

At this symposium there will be:

• Follow-up on recommendations from Symposium #1
• Strategic planning to build existing partnerships into more robust health extension hubs across the state
• Learning from innovative community-based models
• Learning how to be a better partner in all mission areas – education, research, and service
• Learning from existing partnerships with the HSC; what is working and what needs to be improved
• Providing opportunities for networking across the state
• Learning how the UNM HSC can better support New Mexico communities in achieving Vision 2020
• Planning for follow-up visits from HSC leadership to communities

The HSC leadership is committed to being present, listening, and following up with interprofessional community visits and action plans. The HSC will provide lunch, refreshments, and opportunities to network with peers across the state. After the symposium, the UNM HSC will be following up in communities to continue planning and implement recommendations locally. Please let us know if you are able to participate by contacting Leigh Caswell, Vision 2020 Coordinator at lamason@salud.unm.edu or (505) 272-5377.
