Episcopal Health Foundation

**Rooted in faith and active in hope, Episcopal Health Foundation (EHF) believes ALL Texans deserve to live a healthy life – especially those with the least resources and those who face the most obstacles to health. We’re **dedicated to improving health, not just health care in Texas.** 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. EHF has changed the conversation to reshape the debate around health care to focus on addressing the **non-medical drivers of health**: factors and conditions outside the health care system that significantly influence a person’s overall health and well-being. For Texas to fully realize its great potential, all Texans must have the ability to thrive. From the beginning, EHF has had a long-term commitment to invest in and promote organizations, communities, and initiatives to accelerate a bold vision that all Texans have a just opportunity to live their healthiest lives. By providing millions of dollars in [**grants**](https://www.episcopalhealth.org/grantmaking/), working with [**community partners**](https://www.episcopalhealth.org/activating-communities/) and [**congregations**](https://www.episcopalhealth.org/congregations/), and providing important [**research**](https://www.episcopalhealth.org/research/), EHF supports solutions that address the underlying causes of poor health in Texas.
