[1] New Mexico’s health system consists of many components across multiple organizations.

There are 33 counties and 22 sovereign tribes in New Mexico, all of which are organized into five public health regions.

Recently, Public Health regions were realigned to better correspond geographically with patterns of public health services and to promote collaboration among local resources and other state agencies.

NMDOH is the lead entity in New Mexico providing core public health functions and essential services.

The NMDOH is divided into seven divisions (Public Health, Epidemiology and Response, Scientific Laboratory, Developmental Disabilities Support, Health Improvement, Facilities Management, and Administrative Services).
