Health
Good health is the foundation on which North Texans of every age thrive. Access to health is closely linked with our other focus areas—education and income—because overall wellbeing affects everything from how well a child can learn to how much an adult will earn. That’s why we lead and invest in programs that improve access to health for all North Texans.
