Help Us Know Our Patients Better

We are now collecting race, ethnicity and tribal affiliation information from all of our patients to help us know them better. We can learn more about the communities we serve if we know your race and ethnicity and tribe or pueblo. We can better meet the needs of all patients if we know more about race, ethnicity, and tribal affiliation.

• What is your ethnicity? Do you consider yourself Hispanic or Latino?
  
  Hispanic or Latino refers to a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race. Please let us know if you consider yourself Hispanic or Latino.

• By knowing you better, we can provide better care to our patients.
  
  Studies indicate that racial and ethnic minorities often receive lower quality care than non-minorities. We want to make sure that this does not happen in New Mexico. By providing your racial and ethnic background information, you can help us to make sure that all of our patients receive the best care possible.
