The Population Health Learning Collaborative (PHLC) is convened by Constellation Consulting, LLC in collaboration with the Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Program (HDSPP), funding from the NMDOH via CDC's The National Cardiovascular Health Program Grant.
The goal of the PHLC is to prevent and reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease and related illness throughout New Mexico. Using a preventive approach, the PHLC prioritizes improving access to social and support services to reduce the burden of SDOH for priority populations and improving overall wellbeing for those most at risk for cardiovascular disease.
The PHLC strives to include organizations across 11 social and support service areas that address SDOH, including:
- Housing
- Insurance
- Mental Health
- Medication
- Childcare
- Transportation
- Substance Abuse
- Employment
- Literacy
- Language Translation
- Food Assistance
Each year, PHLC members will participate in four gatherings, trainings, or meetings to make connections, learn, and engage with each other. Members will gain new resources, share community challenges, and learn best practices to make data driven decisions. Through the use of YES New Mexico Connect, PHLC members will increase referrals to social and support services for their populations. As a result, barriers to care will decrease and cardiovascular health will improve.
