SSP Services in New Mexico
We are excited to announce that the new vendor providing Support Service Provider (SSP) services for our DeafBlind, Deaf Plus, and Deaf Senior community is Vancro. Over the past few months, one of the goals of the Commission has been to find a vendor that provides these important services to our DeafBlind, Deaf Plus, and Deaf Senior community with most of the same faces that you have all come to know and appreciate as the SSP’s. The other goal has been to find a vendor who has the background and experience to continue improving the user experience and expand the services to those who need SSPs. As the selected vendor, Vancro will provide these services to this specific community that has already been receiving these services, and will also be reaching out to the community who need and want these services. They are also looking to expand the number of available SSP’s to go with their core group and providing the necessary training and support to provide our DeafBlind, Deaf Plus, and Deaf Senior community in the state with quality services.
If you want to know more about becoming an SSP or request these services you can call via VP at 505-435-9283, or voice/text at 505-934-2594. Vancro also can be reached at NMDeafBlindServices@vancro.com. To see the Vancro Message in ASL with captions please visit here- https://youtu.be/YxbEtmHyb3Y

The Presbyterian and New Mexico Commission for Deaf and Hard of Hearing 2023 Community Needs Assessment Learning Session scheduled for Saturday September 23, 2023, has been postponed to November 4 due to schedule conflicts. The event will be held Saturday, November 4, 2023, from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm at Presbyterian Rust Medical Center in Rio Rancho.
If you plan to attend, please make sure you register for the event by Wednesday, November 1, 2023. If you have previously registered, you will need to re-register because of the date change. This is to know how many people will attend so they can order enough food for the event. Register here: https://pres.support/CNAsession
Please keep in mind that we need your feedback regardless of if you are a patient through Presbyterian Rust or Presbyterian Healthcare System or any other hospitals. The purpose of the event is to express and share your negative/positive experience at a hospital/clinic/doctor’s office, etc. so that different people who work for Presbyterian can hear your experiences/stories and make a positive change for our community as a whole.
