About Our Program

Our residency is a community-facing program in which residents and faculty work to address the needs of our community and to support the incredible work our community partners do.

In the Mobile Integrated Health program, our residents ride along with the Las Cruces Fire Department team that visits people who frequently call 911 in an effort to address their needs before they become emergencies. The residents provide medical care when needed and support the mobile integrated health team in connecting people to social service agencies and other resources that they need.

Residents and faculty can become members of the Doña Ana Wellness Institute (DAWI), a county-wide collaborative that includes representatives from health care agencies, social service agencies, city and county government, public services, and New Mexico State University. DAWI's goal is to make Doña Ana County the healthiest county in the nation by working "upstream" to address policies that impact the health of our communities.
