Most New Mexicans are aware of the shortage of health care providers in the state. The Rio Grande Foundation has spent several years researching and discussing ways to address this issue. Think New Mexico, led by Fred Nathan, has also been involved in examining solutions.
Paul Gessing of the Rio Grande Foundation and Fred Nathan from Think New Mexico recently engaged in a conversation to discuss possible approaches to the provider shortage. The two organizations do not always agree on methods but both see value in having an informed discussion about the situation.
The Rio Grande Foundation has published a paper outlining its proposed solutions as well as another document highlighting how serious the problem is. Both resources are available for those interested in learning more about their perspective on this crisis.
Special recognition was given to Jim Williams and Joaquin Romero for their contributions to making this podcast series possible. The first two parts of the discussion series are accessible online.
