FAQ
Why do you need my donation?
All hospital systems rely on strong philanthropic programs to ensure a margin of excellence. As with any large health institution, philanthropy plays a critical role in ensuring that the care we provide is the most advanced care possible―whether it’s through the support of advanced training and education, mission-based initiatives or the latest equipment and technology.
Are you part of a national health system?
Yes, we are part of CommonSpirit Health's Texas division, which includes St Luke's Health. Formed in 2019 through the combination of Catholic Health Initiatives and Dignity Health, CommonSpirit Health is one of the nation’s largest nonprofit health systems. Today, CommonSpirit is supported by 150,000 health care professionals across the country, with 25,000 physicians and more than 40,000 nurses who strive to continue our mission. We have a strong legacy of caring for the underserved, and our mission compels us to advance social justice for all.
