• Provides advocacy, training for health professionals, clinical services, policy reviews and policy recommendations
• Makes clinical consultations and teaches clinical services
• Supports ongoing improvements in the field by:
  • Evaluating our efforts
  • Incorporating new findings into trainings and services
  • Developing new research
  • Sharing findings

Supporting New Mexicans

Throughout life, the approximately 32,000 New Mexicans with developmental disabilities should have access to complete health care and support services. Continuum of Care’s experienced staffers help health professionals learn how to give these residents culturally sensitive, respectful care.
