Community Health Fair Brings Together 100 Partners For Free Health Screenings and Family Resources
For the third consecutive year, West Mesa Community Center provided health benefits and resources to more than 1,000 Albuquerque residents. As part of its commitment to fostering wellbeing and bridging gaps in healthcare access, West Mesa Community Center collaborated about community partners, including healthcare providers, nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and local businesses. The goal of the fair is to connect residents with crucial services, provide health education, and promote overall wellness for individuals and families in the Albuquerque area.

I’m happy that West Mesa is a center dedicated to promoting community health and neighborhood connections.”
“This is the place to go where resources, compassion and community unite.” Said community member, Julius Gutierrez. “It’s nice to know our City provides community centers like this one, that offer such meaningful connections and safe environments.”

By working together, we aim to close the gaps in healthcare access and promote a healthier Albuquerque."
