Show Notes
Family planning clinics in New Mexico face uncertainty as federal Title X funding, which supports birth control, STI testing, and health screenings, may be cut off. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has delayed guidance, leaving providers with just one week to apply. Last year, the program distributed $286.5 million nationwide, with New Mexico receiving $3.1 million. Democratic leaders are urging the feds to release the funds promptly, as short funding gaps could lead to missed checkups and harm, especially in areas where healthcare is already scarce. New Mexico health officials remain hopeful for April funds and vow to maintain services for those in need.
