 UNM Hospital (UNMH) Community Meeting

Steve McKernan, UNMH CEO, will host the meeting with a specific focus on Health Care Reform, The Affordable Care Act, the Exchanges and UNM Care. This meeting will help to inform community members about what UNMH is doing to prepare for Health Care Reform implementation.  We hope to share information, hear concerns, and adapt feedback into our final plans on community/patient education. 

The meeting will include information about UNMH services and also invite feedback on how to serve the community better. These meetings are held on a quarterly basis and have been taking place for about a year. I hope you can attend to be a voice for your community.

Please do pass this invitation along to your contact list, constituents and/or members. We are looking to hear from a broad range of community members.
