Welcome

Welcome to the New Mexico Hispanic Medical Association (NMHMA) website. This site is currently under construction and will be easy to use and learn about the work we do. The NMHMA has been in existence since 1989 and continues its work to make healthcare more accessible to all New Mexicans. We negotiate medical discounts for the uninsured, organize health fairs, and provide mentorship opportunities that encourage a career in healthcare. This year’s Health Fair will be held on April 17th, 2010 at the National Hispanic Cultural Center from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Consider joining our efforts by becoming a member of the NMHMA.

Current and prospective members can renew or become members by filling out the form below. Membership will provide you with free CME at our annual conference scheduled for August 21, 2010 at Isleta Conference Center. Your membership dues also contribute to the charitable activities of the NMHMA.

The other tabs and resources of the website will be up soon. Be on the lookout. For now, please use this easy format to become a member or renew membership. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 505 328-1391 or via email at slucero7@yahoo.com.

Respectfully,

Steve Lucero,
Executive Director
