The Mescalero Community Health Representative (CHR) Program helps connect community members with health care and wellness resources. Our work focuses on three core areas: chronic disease prevention and wellness education, direct patient care and care coordination, and community-wide health and safety outreach.
The CHR Program also helps eligible clients arrange non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) to health care appointments and related services. When possible, we help clients access Medicare or Medicaid transportation services, including rides to specialty clinics and health care centers outside the Purchase-Referred Care Delivery Area (PRCDA). For clients without dependable transportation or access to those services, CHR staff can help coordinate transportation in accordance with program policy.
Please contact the CHR Program as early as possible to request transportation. We do our best to accommodate late requests, but advance notice helps us make arrangements in a timely manner. On-call transportation may be available for qualifying patient transports or discharges outside normal business hours, subject to program policy and procedures.
All transportation is provided in accordance with CHR policy, including seat-belt requirements and applicable state and tribal traffic laws.
Thank you for working with the CHR Program to support the health and well-being of our community.
