Nearly half of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) in Texas say they skipped or postponed medical care in the past year because of cost.

Episcopal Health Foundation has invested $22.8 million in new grants that help community-based organizations and clinics address non-medical drivers of health, while providing access to comprehensive, preventive health services to low-income families across Texas. The investment is EHF’s largest single cycle of grants to date.
