The power of collaborative community building, gratitude and hope

Pay tribute to organizations that participate in successful community building! I am grateful to work with these amazing community leaders. We are working together to develop community building initiatives that are bringing positive change to our communities. I believe that many people are successful because they combine reasonable professional skills with the enthusiasm of building a community and are full of hope. When combined with the tools, resources, policies, and power levers needed to achieve lasting community change, the hope that we can make a difference has brought about positive change.

 It has always been my touchstone. Both focus on the importance of gratitude in building resilience and hope. My "mental mother", the founder of Grey Leopard, once said that hope is a deep-rooted belief that we can make things better. She said: "If you have obstacles on the road, you can bypass it or bypass it. If necessary, explode or tunnel under it. Dr. Martin Luther King said: "The cosmic arc leans toward justice, "and" any It is very important to upgrade us. "I hope to be rooted in a complex understanding of the many challenges we face and to guide us in moving forward with our goals and the assets we bring. Joy comes from the hope that in reality, it also has wings.

The Rio Ariba County Health Council [RACHC] and the Rio Ariba County Department of Health and Human Services are working tirelessly to establish and maintain community initiatives to address behavioral health issues; prison transfers and community re-entry; and substance use barriers [ SUD]; Opioid Use Disorder [OUD] and more! Over the years, the region has established federal and nationally recognized model programs and continues to win contracts and awards for planning and network development. The initiative represents an overlapping network and hundreds of people have created positive community changes. Lauren Reichelt is the leader of most of the work, he is an infinitely enthusiastic champion with amazing professional skills and heritage. She is a passionate advocate for those who are marginalized. In early November, she mobilized many people to solve the problem of possible closure of nursing homes in northern New Mexico. There are so many leaders who are shaping positive community change in the NNM region. Some of them include Loren Pease, CEO of El Centro Health and Chairman of RACHC; Brenda Romero, RN, CEO of MSN Presbyterian Espanola Hospital, Vice President of RACHC; Michelle Peixnho and Monica Griego are working with Lauren to guide many new initiatives. Planning for community health needs assessments, health records and other matters with Lauren and many others has been and continues to be an honour. Lauren, you are indeed a healthy hero!

One of the most exciting and innovative ways of focusing on behavioral health in the region is through the perspective of economic development. The Rio Grande Central Economic Development Association [MRGEDA] recognizes that our work is severely affected by drug abuse and other behavioral health problems. In order to solve this problem, MRGEDA has developed a Health Care Committee [HCC] under the strong and exciting leadership of Sharon Finarelli, head of the work of Sierra Vista Hospital. It includes providers from four counties who come together to address behavioral health issues. Working with skilled professionals, it's great to be passionate about creating community health "from scratch" to attract a large number of stakeholders. MRGEDA's new executive director, Kirsten Kelley, has been involved with MRGEDA's board chairman Bruce Swingle and has become the champion of this work. In addition, Serra County manager Bruce is a visionary who focuses on positive institutional change. As one might expect, the network includes a variety of behavioral health providers. It also employs county management, law enforcement, schools, legislators, advocates, health committees, and national partners. The Sierra County Opioid Partnership is part of this vast system, including a core team of about 30 people who are keen to reverse excess death. The partnership is a community of hope that is being addressed by some experts as a problem of desperate disease. Regional and county work represents small communities mobilizing hundreds of people with deep goals and committed to creating positive community change. Sharon and the team are performing tasks and being part of the journey is exciting!

HMS CEO Dan Otero is a magical gift with unlimited energy, expertise and one thousand and one projects! I was introduced to the seminar I led at the NM Public Health Association's spring meeting, and I was amazed at his energy, his achievements and the way he led so many community initiatives. I am very happy to work with Dan, HMS Chief Support Officer Edith Lee and the team. Earlier this fall. HMS and New Ventures were awarded competitive contracts by the Freeport McMoRan Foundation to lead Grant County for intensive gap analysis and community health needs assessments to find out more about adult needs, services, resources, assets and future options for older adults. Through important community involvement, we have developed a from

 . HMS is not only the FQHC health care system in the Grant and Hidalgo County areas of southwest New Zealand, but also manages the Advanced Center and has a state-of-the-art facility called Tu Casa. In addition, they are establishing a one-stop integrated care model to access services. HMS is an amazing resource that offers a wide variety of services to the area, Dan is a fireball, and it's done so much, it makes the head spin! If this is not enough, I am also very happy to have a local consultant and system change agent Chris DeBolt to work with me to complete the project. We are working hard to solve one of the biggest problems in the world today, and Ken Dychtwald calls it "age wave." Working with loyal professionals from effective community builders is a pleasure.

Investing and building communities is the mission of Presbyterian Healthcare Services [PHS]. They connect with communities through an expanding statewide health care system, partner with community health committees [CHCs], and make financial investments in local collaborative initiatives and partnerships. Leigh Caswell is committed to building community health by researching a wide range of systems, focusing on building health equity and addressing the social determinants of health, leading her team to be community-centric. Earlier in her career, Leigh was the coordinator of the Bernalillo County Health Board, which gave her a good perspective. She is responsible for the PHS Community Health Center, providing a broad vision, enterprise systems expertise and community-based planning and systems development tools. Working with Leigh and its employee manager Meredith Root-Bowman, they build community health and engage the community in a comprehensive way.

Although they didn't want to slow down too much this summer, teams of change agents from northern and central New Mexico gathered to develop an opioid-related workforce development plan. Northern region

Labor Board member Jeff Barela and SER Jobs for Progress' ED, Alex Martinez; economic development master Chris Madrid; RACHHS director Lauren Reichelt; and New Mexico Northern College Dean Rick Bailey worked together to develop a plan for northern New Mexico. Then, we worked with CNM personnel and State Labor Solutions Labor Innovation and Opportunity Acts Administrator Yolanda Montoya Cordova to create an initiative we hope will be a strong support, partner development and behavioral health to address opioid use barriers Our influence. State labor force. I am very happy to help develop plans for multiple counties and complex plans. Yolanda's state plan to balance and integrate all players and parts to achieve a win-win situation is a great gift!

Cody, WY Chamber of Commerce has one of the most engaging communities you can find - anywhere! The town created by Buffalo Bill Cody has more than 10,000 residents and 560 members in the conference hall! The Cody Chamber of Commerce has become a powerful force in the economic development of Cody and the entire Northwest Wyoming region. I am amazed at the role of this town and what it means. Leading strategic planning meetings with executive directors, boards, employees and partners is like dancing, really happy. People are full of targeted analysis of members and programs; a deep understanding of the needs and assets of members, communities and regions; and a strong vision for a future innovation strategy as a regional portal. The team's energy is exciting, infectious, and building traction. Executive Director Tina Hoebelheinrich is a generator who has made many positive changes in the past few years, taking the conference hall to a new level. And they are entering the high gear!

The NM Alliance Health Council is an incredibly small resource with a huge network and a huge footprint. For many years, the Health Council has served as a contributor, planner, organizer, and builder of community health in many counties and tribal areas. Working with NMAHC ED Terrie Rodriguez and manager Chris DeBolt to complete the project is great. They are partners and are always willing to participate and work together to build community health and...
