Outreach Activities and Project ECHO

Through the Extension for Community Health Care Outcomes (ECHO) Program, patients can receive rheumatology care in their own community. ECHO provides clinical support and training to rural New Mexico clinicians, allowing them to treat their own patients instead of referring them hours away for specialty care. Medical director: Dr. Frank O’Sullivan. Learn more or contact Rheumatology Program Specialist, Melanie Lopez.
