    The Foundation also partners with Community Health Improvement to execute the Community Impact strategy. It is instrumental in building relationships with community stakeholders who serve on Community Impact Leadership Councils and Community Impact Board and identifies funding partners for initiatives.

    The Foundation’ primary fundraising initiatives include:

    • The Texas Health 365 Fund for programs and education that support Texas Health hospitals and communities.
    • The Texas Health COVID-19 Response Fund to help front-line caregivers with shelter, food, daycare and critical medical equipment as they respond to the pandemic with courage and professionalism. The Foundation also facilitates donations of meals, PPE and other related needs.

    The Foundation also builds key strategic relationships through additional community campaigns, programs, events, endowments, individual giving and nonprofit organizations.

    • Provide pastoral care through board-certified chaplains, educating clergy and lay leaders through our accredited clinical pastoral education program.
    • Offer on-site chapels and meditation gardens that provide a quiet place for employees, patients and visitors to pray, worship, meditate and simply breathe.

Supporting our Healthcare Heroes

Texas Health Alliance Park and Pray The Texas Health Resources Foundation led two fundraising campaigns to provide financial relief to our system’s healthcare heroes.

It first established a COVID-19 Response Fund at the pandemic's onset to support employees’ immediate and pressing needs, from food to childcare to hotel accommodations. The donations also pay for medical equipment and other needs. It costs up to $15,000 per day for personal protective equipment to protect our front-line workers. By year-end, generous donors gave more than $2.4 million, which included $1.2 million worth of in-kind donations of meals.

Donors came from some unusual sources.

Professional basketball player Myles Turner of the Indiana Pacers donated $50,000 after his father was treated successfully for COVID-19 at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Hurst-Euless-Bedford. Two teenage brothers from North Carolina, Dylan and Connor Clark, also donated $5,000 to Texas Health after launching their CopperSAFE mask business in late April 2020. Their business received national attention and corporate partnerships that enabled them to support caregivers across the nation.

The Foundation also kicked off a two-week campaign, Employees Supporting Employees, to support colleagues experiencing hardships in the fall. Thanks to their generosity, donations of paid time off and rollover pledges from 2019’s Associates and Community Employee Giving campaigns, we raised more than $1.6 million to provide support inside and outside the walls of our health system.

Caring for our Caregivers

Donations are being used to offset many costs, such as:

  • $25: Cost to feed two employees for a day
  • $300: Daily chaplain service for workers and patients
  • $500: An employee’s discounted weekly hotel rate
  • $1,000: A month of daycare for front-line workers

Coordinated Care Lowers Costs, Improves Outcomes 

Although launched only five years ago, Texas Health Aetna is already making a significant difference in people’s lives, delivering better health outcomes while controlling costs for members and businesses alike.

Saving members time and money with telehealth

Texas Health Aetna's Anytime-MD app is in English and Spanish, offering more members free 24/7 access to a local doctor to quickly resolve everyday care needs, including house calls, appointments, filling prescriptions and referring members to behavioral health specialists. The app saved $1.25 million in 2020 by avoiding time away from work and care provided in physical settings. Members waited an average of 42 seconds for their consultations, which spanned a median time of 26 minutes.

Engaging high-risk members to improve health outcomes

A dedicated three-person care team at Texas Health Aetna engages 15% to 20% of members who have health conditions that need management and preventive treatment to keep them from worsening. Through remote condition monitoring via text message and direct phone calls, the team works with members to address and manage hypertension, diabetes, asthma, gaps in care and health education.
