This House Memorial honors the dedication and contributions of nurses and health care workers in New Mexico, recognizing their commitment to promoting, restoring, and protecting the health of the state's residents. It highlights the challenges faced by these professionals, particularly during public health emergencies, pandemics, and ongoing community health needs, which have required them to work long hours and make personal sacrifices. The memorial also addresses the persistent workforce shortage in the health care sector, especially in rural and frontier communities, which exacerbates health inequities and limits access to care.

The resolution expresses gratitude for the invaluable service of nurses and health care workers, including clinicians, allied health professionals, and support staff. It commends their professionalism, advocacy, and compassion, and emphasizes the importance of their roles in ensuring patient safety and health care quality. The House of Representatives resolves to extend its appreciation to these professionals and directs that copies of the memorial be sent to relevant nursing and health care organizations and hospital leadership across New Mexico.
