History of NMHHRA

The New Mexico Healthcare Human Resources Association began in 1985 as an affiliate chapter of the New Mexico Hospital Association.  Some of its earliest members were employees of Hospital Services Corporation, in Albuquerque, who were instrumental in starting the group.  The Hospital Services Corporation Salary Survey was one of the first things that the group instituted and is still administered by HSC today.  In 1990, the association became an official affiliate chapter of the American Society for Healthcare Human Resources Administration (ASHHRA).  Membership over the years has fluctuated between 20 to 80 members and has always been devoted to sharing ideas directly related to healthcare human resources.

NMHHRA Affiliations

In 1990 the New Mexico Healthcare Human Resources Association became a local Chapter in Region 8 of the national organization, American Society for Healthcare Human Resources Administration (ASHHRA).  Through ASHHRA, additional resources are available to members, including affiliation with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), allowing local members to take advantage of discounts for joint membership opportunities.
