The population in the Mid Rio Grande Border region has an increasing propensity to chronic diseases including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer and asthma.  More than 30% of the population is uninsured and, thus, have decreased access to care.  The MRGBAHEC staff works in collaboration with educational institutions, health care facilities, health care providers, social services agencies and coalitions to help educate the community about disease prevention and health promotion projects.​
