Paso del Norte Health Foundation

A Fund of

For 30 years, the Paso del Norte Health Foundation has been dedicated to improving the health and well-being of the residents of our binational, tri-state region.

Guided by the vision of our founding Board of Directors, we have empowered individuals and communities with the knowledge, resources, and environments they need to live happy, healthy, and productive lives.

Established in 1995 with $130 million from the sale of Providence Memorial Hospital to Tenet Healthcare Corporation, the Foundation has grown into a driving force for positive change. Successive Boards of Directors have remained committed to our mission: leading, investing in, and supporting initiatives and policies that build healthier communities in El Paso and Hudspeth counties in West Texas, southern New Mexico, and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua.

We are deeply grateful to our board members, staff, grantees, and community partners whose dedication has created lasting change in health and well-being. 

As we look to the future, we know there are still significant health challenges facing the residents of our region – from high rates of diabetes and mental illness to lack of access to health insurance and healthcare providers. We want to make healthy living the easy choice for everyone.

Recent external investments, such as a generous $15 million gift from MacKenzie Scott, have strengthened our ability to do even more for our region.

We invite you to join us in creating a culture of health for all by making a gift of any size to support the Paso del Norte Health Foundation.
