New Mexico Launches Healthy Aging App for Older Adults via UNM Health Sciences
The University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center launched Vive Bien/Live Well, a healthy aging program designed to help older adults maintain health, independence, and quality of life. The program is funded by the New Mexico Health Care Authority and aligns with the World Health Organization's Integrated Care for Older People framework. The initiative targets the state's aging population with tools to support independent living and reduce care needs.
Why it mattersState-funded aging programs can reduce institutional long-term care utilization and shift costs toward home- and community-based services, potentially affecting LTSS budget planning and managed care contract specifications.
