Los Alamos County Health Council (LACHC)

The Social Services Division coordinates regular meetings of the Los Alamos County Health Council (LACHC). The LACHC consists of 15 members who are selected to represent a broad spectrum of diverse community interests and are appointed by County Council to serve 2-year terms. The LACHC is tasked with developing recommendations to the County concerning identification of needs, services, projects and programs that can affect community health; comprehensive health planning; and coordination of health resources. The Los Alamos County Council formally recognizes LACHC as its community health planning body and designates a Councilor each year to attend monthly meetings. 

For more information, please contact LACHC Coordinator, Kristine Coblentz, at (505) 662-8312.


The LACHC holds public meetings on the first Thursday of each month, from 12:00 - 1:30pm. Meetings are currently being hosted virtually. Members of the public are welcome to attend. Agendas and links for the meetings can be found on the Council Meeting Calendar.
