HEALTH & ECONOMIC IMPACTS
Communities that provide affordable access to healthy lifestyles and good health care are better able to attract and retain business, residents. Health and social services are already a major investment within Sandoval County. Since 2008, more than $600 million has been invested in local hospitals, clinics, and higher education institutions which train tomorrow’s health care workforce. The health & social services sector is one of the top employers in Sandoval County (over 3,000) and is the largest private employer in New Mexico. The sector attracts $7 billion annually to NM in federal transfer payments (including Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Affairs medical services). The NM Dept. of Workforce Solutions projects the sector will be the #1 in job growth in the Albuquerque metro area at least through 2022.
