About Christus Health Ark-La-Tex
Christus Health Ark-La-Tex puts most of its recent grant dollars into medical education and health access across the Ark-La-Tex region. Two of the largest awards went to the Univ of Ar Area Hlth Education Ctr Sw in Texarkana, Arkansas, for a Medical Education Program: $910,483 in 2023 and $855,012 in 2024. That scale is paired with community-focused giving on the Texas side of the border, including $512,500 to East Texas Border Health in Marshall for a community health contribution grant and $462,019 to Christus St Michael Foundation in Texarkana for donor support for a prenatal support program. The foundation also funds indigent care, health education, nursing training, dental outreach, and disaster response through its CHRISTUS Fund programs. Its stated aim is to extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ by investing in long-term, transformative, sustainable strategies that respond to the expressed needs of the communities it serves. Grants range from small local support awards to large multi-hundred-thousand-dollar investments, and the portfolio includes both direct service and capacity-building support.
