The Harding County Health Council's mission is
"To promote a safe and healthy county through the participation of
citizens and organizations inside and outside our county." The
Council's Vision Statement is "Safe and healthy living for all."
This Council meets once a month to work on projects which will better
assist our local county residents to be healthy.
Council members
are adults from several areas of the county as well as student
representatives from both local schools. The council schedules
meetings on the third Thursday of every month in the Villages of Mosquero and Roy on alternating months.
Council members welcome participation from any interested county
resident.
The Health Council sponsors two
Health Fair's
each year. A fall
health fair in Mosquero at the Mosquero Schools and a Spring Health
Fair in Roy at the Roy Schools
Harding County’s Health Coordinator was hired in March
of 2005. Arlene Aragon is the current Coordinator. You may contact
her at 575-673-2332.
A health council was established by April of 2005. The first object of the council was to complete the
definition of health, set up a vision and mission statement, work on
by-laws, figure out gaps and assets and complete an environmental
assessment. This was completed between April through June of 2005.
The Health Council in cooperation with the Health
Coordinator have met on a monthly basis to assess the needs of its
population. Currently the council consists of thirteen individuals
representing all parts of the county and all age groups and each has
specific areas of expertise. The council includes two youths on the
council, one from the Roy and one from the Mosquero School Districts.
Harding County is one of the smallest populated counties in New Mexico
but is definitely lacking in health services.

2007 Plan |
The vision statement for our county is “Safe And Healthy
Living For All”. The mission of our council is to promote a safe and
healthy county through the participation of citizens and organizations
inside and outside our county.
We intend to bring together a healthier community by
providing services that are otherwise nonexistent.
Values that guide our council’s work include a caring
approach for the wellbeing of all the individuals in our county and
being able to assist these individuals with services that are
non-existent today. We believe that a healthy county is a prosperous
county.
