The Valencia Maternal Child Health (MCH) Council served in an advisory capacity to the VCC-FCC.

In 1999, the VCC-FCC was reorganized as the Valencia Community Partnership, transitioning from a service organization to a focused health assessment and planning organization.

In 2010, the Valencia Community Partnership was again reorganized to officially become the Community Wellness Council with the mission to promote community collaboration through a framework of coordination, assessment, and solutions. Through its many transitions and iterations, the CWC has retained its 501©3 status and an active and dedicated leadership team passionate about community wellness, health, and safety. In addition, the CWC continues to maintain a mutually beneficial relationship with the New Mexico Alliance of Health Councils which includes Tribal partners.

The CWC focuses its work on a wide variety of issues including wellness, health equity, injury prevention, and health promotion. On-going CWC-sponsored assessments will provide county stakeholders and other residents with data on both community problems and how collaboration and cooperation are addressing effectively addressing them.

The CWC is a public health information hub in which the 100% Community initiative is used to assess the on-going needs in Valencia County, and to meet the identified needs through the promotion of collaboration between agencies, coalitions, and action groups. Our partnering agencies and organizations include local coalitions, governmental bodies, schools, nonprofit organizations, civic groups, and service agencies.
