Making a Healthy Difference.
The Paso del Norte Health Foundation has invested more than 25 years of improving health and preventing disease in the Paso del Norte region. Follow the timeline below on our legacy of leadership and grantmaking in the region.
We Stand United Against Hate
The Paso del Norte Health Foundation and Paso del Norte Community Foundation are heartbroken over the horrific shootings at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas and at the Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo, New York. No child, teacher, family, school, or community should have to experience such violence and hate. We stand against hate and continue to remember those taken during the August 3rd shooting in El Paso.
