New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange (NMHIX) has contracted with UNMHSC to partner with NMSU and forty other New Mexico institutions of higher learning to provide education and outreach related to health insurance enrollment statewide. Several events will be organized and held by college and university partners, and thanks to the rich HERO/HUB network of relationships and successes statewide, education and outreach will also be integrated into ongoing collaborative work in communities.
“We have learned that up to 70% of NM college students are uninsured. Surveys show people 18-35 want health insurance, but are not sure if they can afford it. Our students need accurate information and support to make a good decision about health insurance and health care.” ~ Elaine Luna, AHEC/HERO, Luna Community College
