Community Partnerships

In 2012, Texas Children’s Hospital provided over $7.7 million in community benefit funding and in-kind contributions to non-profit and community organizations

As one of Houston’s longstanding institutional leaders, Texas Children’s recognizes that often health needs are not simply about providing cures and care for physical maladies, particularly when working with underserved communities. Rather, these are deeply intertwined with numerous social determinants of health (educational, psychosocial, environmental and economic concerns) that may frequently be more challenging to address than illness alone.

This realization has led us to approach Community Benefit planning in a highly collaborative manner. While Texas Children’s is a renowned leader in health care, other institutions and groups share additional expertise in resolving other aspects in the complex issue of community health and well being. To extend the breadth and depth of care, Texas Children’s financially supports and actively partners with a wide range of organizations that share our commitment to ensuring a community of healthy children and understand the collective impact on the city’s continued vitality and growth.

In 2012, Texas Children’s Hospital provided over $7.7 million in community benefit funding and in-kind contributions to non-profit and community organizations and over $100,000 in community building activities that share our commitment to a healthy future for children and young adults. The hospital actively collaborated with numerous organizations to create joint initiatives, including the following programs and services:
