The Rt. Rev. C. Andrew Doyle, IX Bishop of Texas and EHF’s chairman of the board explains how EHF is working to model what it means to be a ‘neighbor’ to a new kind of community, so we become healthier together.
We can’t continue addressing chronic population health problems the same way we treat communicable diseases. The focus of Texas’ healthcare system must shift from healthcare delivery alone to promoting health and wellness in the communities they serve.
We appreciate the opportunity to work with government. Together, we can improve lives and, in some instances, reduce government spending. But make no mistake: We cannot close gaps or solve problems created by poor public policy choices.
EHF program officer Katy Butterwick looks at the dramatic impact of improving nonprofit staff by funding operations, not just programs.
EHF volunteers recently walked neighborhoods in Houston’s 5th Ward. See why they came away from the experience not only with a clearer picture of what it means to reach out and be in community, but what it means to create important connections with communities.
See how the Foundation’s partnership with Seminary of the Southwest and Burke is already working to help fill the need for quality mental health services in East Texas.
EHF explores how working with a government agency can impact social issues.
Funding from the Episcopal Health Foundation and other philanthropies can provide a launching pad for a nascent idea, build the capacity of a long-standing organization, and absorb risk for high-risk but high-reward initiatives. But our dollars cannot — nor should they have to — compensate for a faulty system.
