100% Family Centers Open in San Juan and Doña Ana Counties
Announcing the grand opening of 100% Family Centers in San Juan and Doña Ana Counties to provide access to ten vital services for families.
March 31, 2025
The Anna, Age Eight Institute’s mission at the New Mexico State University is to ensure that each community member has access to ten vital services for surviving (medical and dental, behavioral health, food, housing, transportation) and thriving (early childhood learning, community schools, youth mentorship, parents supports, job training) through the implementation of the 100% New Mexico initiative. One of the keystone projects of the 100% New Mexico initiative is a 100% Family Center, a place where families can get the help they need all in one location.
In San Juan County, the 100% Family Center opened in Farmington, NM on February 13, 2025. “The opening of our Community Compass Navigation Center marks a triumphant collaboration between the 100% San Juan County initiative, Presbyterian Medical Services, and San Juan County Government. This partnership ensures the sustainability of a vital program that enriches the lives of our community” stated Kathy Price, Co-Coordinator of the 100% San Juan County initiative. The Center is a one-stop service hub where the ten vital services can be accessed in-person, via the web, and supported by a navigator or peer mentor via phone at 505-636-7110.
