This Memorial requests the New Mexico Department of Health to study the feasibility of creating a dedicated center for complex care in the state. This center would serve children, youth, and adults with special health care needs and medical complexity, aiming to provide them with specialized medical services throughout their lives, including a smoother transition from pediatric to adult care. The study should also explore ways to address the shortage of healthcare providers for this population, recommend policy changes, and assess more efficient methods for delivering care to improve outcomes and reduce the burden on patients and their families. The Department of Health is required to report its findings and recommendations to legislative committees.
