Priority Areas
Improved health outcomes are achieved faster, and with greater wide-spread success, with collaboration. Under the oversight of the board of directors and with the dedicated efforts of program officers and team other staff, the Health Foundation works with a number of organizations and consultants to plan, implement, and evaluate initiatives and programs that serve the Paso del Norte region and improve the health of the community.
Our health priority areas are healthy living; disease prevention and management; and health leadership. These health priority areas were selected by the board of directors, with input from program officers and based on their importance, changeability, community interest, available services and resources, and other relevant criteria.
Healthy Living
To support efforts that promote positive behaviors to prevent disease including healthy eating, physical activity, smoking/vaping prevention, and positive opportunities for youth.
Health Leadership
To support leadership development for executives, boards of directors, and nonprofit organizations. Leverage resources through partnerships, invest in strategic initiatives and catalytic projects, and respond to immediate needs for the benefit of the region’s health.
