Investing in Our Community
The Health Care Access Grant Program focuses on increasing health care access to primary care and mental health care services for uninsured and underinsured individuals through financial support to free clinics, federally qualified health centers and other nonprofit agencies. The grant program has helped 83 unique Houston-area charities with nearly $185 million since its inception more than 30 years ago.
HEALTH CARE ACCESS GRANT
Twenty-one percent of people living in Harris County lack insurance, making access to health care almost impossible for those who cannot pay for it out of pocket. To assist with mitigating these barriers to health care, Houston Methodist offers the Health Care Access Grant to local nonprofits working to provide affordable, quality access to health care services while stressing the importance of preventative care.
MENTAL HEALTH CARE ACCESS GRANT
One in five people in the United States are estimated to experience mental illness every year. Due to the growing need for mental health services, Houston Methodist offers the Mental Health Care Access Grant to local nonprofits working to reduce barriers to accessing mental health care services for indigent members of the Greater Houston community.
