Addressing Healthcare’s Blindside in Albuquerque’s South Side

View Report

This report highlights the efforts of the Albuquerque, New Mexico, BUILD initiative: Addressing Healthcare’s Blindside in Albuquerque’s South Side (AHBASS) to address high chronic disease rates in the SE Heights and South Valley communities.

This report analyzes core partner interviews—representing community-based organizations, hospitals and health systems, and local public health departments—and presents findings from their points of view in an effort to highlight lessons learned and share insights related to collaboration, data use, policy and advocacy, health equity, and sustainability.

AHBASS aims to create an environment that makes “the healthy choice the easy choice.” by working to integrate key social determinants of health (economic stability, education, food, community, neighborhood, and physical environment) within primary care services accessed by prioritized communities, AHBASS seeks to reduce chronic disease rates in the focus communities by creating a wellness ecosystem.
