Episcopal Health Foundation
Rooted in faith and active in hope, the Episcopal Health Foundation (EHF) believes ALL Texans deserve to live a healthy life – especially the poor and those with the least resources. That’s why we’re changing the conversation on health and reshaping the debate around health care to focus on addressing the non-medical, root causes of poor health.
Health is much more than seeing a doctor. Access to affordable medical care is vitally important, but it’s only 20% of what contributes to a person’s overall health. The remaining 80% is determined by social and economic status, health behaviors, community safety, physical environment, and much more.
By providing millions of dollars in grants, working with community partners and congregations, and providing important research, EHF supports solutions that address the underlying causes of poor health.
We’re dedicated to improving #HealthNotJustHealthCare in Texas.
