Changing systems and removing barriers to improve health, not just health care, for all Texans.

We’re changing the way Texans think about health by working with partners to improve the programs, resources, and policies that influence the everyday factors that keep people healthy.

We focus on addressing non-medical drivers of health, which significantly influence a person’s overall health and well-being.

At EHF, we focus on three big action areas: health and health care services, healthy communities, and health policies. They are deeply connected and together they shape the systems that influence health across Texas.
