E-mail Print PDF

By Health Council Coordinator Wendy Sager Evanson

Greetings! It's been a busy month with good news following the sweat and elbow grease.

Since learning of the 100% funding cut by the NM Dept. of Health, there has been a  push to clarify our core functions and make presentations to the City of T or C and Sierra County  in hopes of securing some funding. We asked for $25,000 from each and the City of T or C has come through!!!

The feeling of support is so great, and now the council can truly become a more community based organization! A grant to Con Alma was submitted June 1st.   It will be November before we know about that funding.  Meanwhile, the office can remain open, 5 days/week- we will have funds to pay 12hrs to staff- and 8 hours to MCH.
