Patient-Led NM Healthcare Summits: Real Voices. Real Reform.
New Mexico is facing a healthcare crisis: patients are waiting months for appointments, traveling across state lines for care, and struggling to find doctors. Behind the statistics are real stories of families whose health and futures are on the line.
The Patient-Led NM Healthcare Summits bring together patients, providers, community leaders, and policymakers for one urgent purpose: to shine a light on the challenges driving New Mexico’s physician shortage — and to inspire collaborative solutions.
At these summits, you will:
- Hear firsthand stories from New Mexican patients about the barriers they face.
- Learn how state policies on malpractice, reimbursement rates, and healthcare taxes are impacting access to care.
- Join in dialogue with healthcare leaders about actionable reforms that put patients first.
- Discover how you can be part of a growing movement to secure a healthier future for New Mexico.
Healing Policy for Healthcare. Together.
We’re building a healthcare system that puts patients first.

These partners share our commitment to protecting patient access, supporting providers, and advancing real, sustainable reform across our state.

Virtual Summit
Patient-Led NM invites you to the Virtual Healthcare Summit. This online forum will amplify patient voices in the conversation on healthcare reform, highlighting the widespread human cost of delayed or unavailable care across New Mexico. Families in every corner of the state are struggling to access timely, local care as physicians continue to leave.
The Virtual Summit will convene patients, healthcare leaders, and policymakers in a statewide discussion of pragmatic reforms (malpractice, reimbursement, and GRT relief) that can restore stability to New Mexico’s healthcare system and improve access to care for all.
