About Christus St Michael Foundation
A recurring part of CHRISTUS St Michael Foundation’s recent giving is support for healthcare delivery through both hospital projects and patient assistance. Two of the largest grants on file went to Christus Health Ark-la-tex in Irving: $348,953 in 2024 for various projects and $331,570 in 2023 for patient account and capital projects. The foundation also funded Ark-tex Council of Governments with $210,000 in 2024 and $140,000 in 2023 for a premium support program. That mix shows a funder working across infrastructure, account support, and insurance-related assistance rather than a single narrow grant type. The foundation’s stated purpose, “To Extend the Healing Ministry of Jesus Christ,” aligns with its focus on healthcare, emergency services, cancer care, women’s health, senior health, surgery, imaging, rehabilitation, neonatal intensive care, infusion therapy, patient financial assistance, and scholarships and caregiver recognition programs. The active programs list adds more context: it includes a COVID-19 relief campaign, a scholarship endowment, a caregiver recognition program, and an IV infusion center expansion campaign. Together, these items point to a health-system foundation that supports both clinical capacity and the people who rely on it.
What Christus St Michael Foundation Funds
In healthcare operations, CHRISTUS St Michael Foundation has backed both patient account support and capital work, including $331,570 to Christus Health Ark-la-tex for patient account and capital projects. The same recipient also received $348,953 for various projects, reinforcing a pattern of funding that reaches into hospital operations and facility needs. Insurance-related assistance is another clear theme. Ark-tex Council of Governments received $210,000 in 2024 and $140,000 in 2023 for a premium support program, showing support for coverage costs rather than direct medical treatment alone. The foundation also funds patient-facing and staff-centered programs. Its HealthcareHEROtxk Fundraiser supports COVID-19 response efforts, including help for vulnerable patients with COVID-related health costs and aid for caregivers facing hardship. Its Helping Hand Program recognizes physicians, nurses, volunteers, therapists, housekeepers, and other associates with a pin and certificate. Education appears through named scholarship endowments, including the Sister Damian Murphy Scholarship Endowment and the Amanda Turley Memorial Scholarship.
