About Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas
Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas Inc has used large, repeat awards to build health and social-service capacity across South Texas, with the Southwest Texas Regional Advisory Council receiving more than $14 million across 2023 to 2025 for transitional housing, an acute care station, and psychiatric bed capacity. That pattern shows a funder willing to back both clinical infrastructure and the systems around it. Their grants also reach community health centers and behavioral-health providers, including El Centro del Barrio (DBA CentroMed), Gateway Community Health Center Inc, and Clarity Child Guidance Center, often with support tied to integrated healthcare, counseling, or facility work. The foundation’s stated scope covers access to care, food security, digital equity, housing, economic mobility, and education and workforce development, but the recent grants make clear that health access is the organizing thread. It also supports clergy wellness, child-abuse prevention, and programs serving people experiencing homelessness and low-income residents, including colonia communities. The grant list includes program, capital, staffing, and coalition support, indicating a mix of direct service funding and broader capacity investments.
What Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas Funds

In Laredo, Gateway Community Health Center Inc received $1,448,547 in 2024 and $1,441,697 in 2025 for integrated healthcare, and a 2023 grant also added dental and salary-supplement support. Behavioral health is another clear line of work: Clarity Child Guidance Center received $1,440,000 in 2025 for behavioral health services for children and capital support. Food, housing, and economic mobility appear as connected priorities in grants such as the award to Martinez Street Women's Center for a community coalition project and Economic Mobility program.
