Government Relations
In the dynamic health care landscape, the Government Relations (GR) team works to support public policy priorities important to UMC El Paso (UMC), El Paso Children's Hospital (EPCH), and El Paso Health. The team works closely with lawmakers, leaders, agencies and associations at the local, state, and federal levels to promote health care policies that align with our mission to heal and serve El Paso County residents. They also serve as a conduit for UMC, EPCH, and El Paso Health staff to communicate with state and federal legislative officials.
Legislative Priorities
At the state level, our government relations team advocates for policies that improve the health and welfare of our patients, staff, and all El Paso County residents.
