Women's Health

The Governor's Women's Health Advisory Council was established by executive order in 2006. The mission of the Council is to improve the overall health and well-being of women and girls in New Mexico through consideration of the individual woman's experiences, using a woman-centered approach, and advocating for change in the health care system.  Women's health is a sex and gender-informed practice, grounded in an interdisciplinary sex and gender informed bio-psycho-social science, focusing on care of the whole woman in the diverse contexts of her life experiences. The Council's report is listed in the Women's Health Link section. For more information or if you would like to request a speaker on women's health, contact our Women’s Health Policy Advisor, Giovanna Rossi at Giovanna.Rossi@state.nm.us or (505) 827-0548.
