Do you know about GoodFoodNM, the new health texting program?

GoodFoodNM is a bilingual, statewide health texting program that promotes good food and healthy eating to New Mexicans. Get healthy food tips delivered directly to your clients' phones!


According to the Centers for Disease Control, text messages are a proven way to get people to make healthier choices because texts have a 98% open rate, and the repetition of information in small bites makes more of an impact than more cumbersome email messages.
