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 with Uvalde and Buffalo
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.

We stand with Uvalde and Buffalo and continue to remember those taken during the August 3rd shooting in El Paso.
