Celebrating 30 Years of Transforming Health in the Paso del Norte Region

For three decades, 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: to lead, leverage, and invest in initiatives, programs, and policies that promote health and prevent disease 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. Together, we celebrate this shared legacy and remain committed to improving the health and quality of life for the people we serve today and into the future.

As we enter the next phase of this journey, we invite you to join us in creating a culture of health for all:
