Health Policy and Planning Commission (HPPC)

The Health Policy and Planning Commission (HPPC) provides guidance and recommendations to the Community Services Department and the Board of County Commissioners on the provision of health care services in Santa Fe County. The HPPC was active in the production of the Santa Fe County Health Action Plan and the establishment of health priorities, which was approved by the BCC. The HPPC also recommended approaches and funding for systemic changes to implement an Accountable Health Community in Santa Fe County, now called Santa Fe County Connect, which addresses the unmet, non-medical social needs of County residents. 

Every significant program of the Community Services Department and the organizations we fund is regularly presented and discussed at the HPPC, as are community profiles, demographic data, and health and social needs raised by residents as described in detail in the Santa Fe County Gap Analysis.
