The University of New Mexico’s Prevention Research Center (UNM PRC) developed an evidence-based model to increase physical activity in rural communities in NM. Starting in the small, rural town of Cuba, NM, the model was expanded to other rural communities. Given the success of the model, the PRC was invited to partner with 10 Navajo Chapters (communities) in the Eastern Agency of the Navajo Nation, with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Together, they engaged in a project called Healthy Places— Healthy People.
