Methodist Healthcare Ministries Awards $32 Million to Local Non-Profits

SAN ANTONIO, TX — The Methodist Healthcare Ministries has awarded $32 million in annual health care grants to non-profits. The private, faith-based, not-for-profit organization is dedicated to creating access to health care for low-income families and the uninsured.

According to Methodist Healthcare Ministries, the organization will be distributing the $32 million in grants to 92 non-profit agencies across a 74-county service area.

These grants are rooted in partnerships that support access to care, integrated delivery systems and patient-centered models.  In partnership with Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), safety-net clinics, counseling services and regional community projects, Methodist Healthcare Ministries' goal is to create measurable impact at the community and regional levels to further establish health care networks.
