Your written health care wishes will help provide comfort and peace to your loved ones in making difficult decisions. For more information visit Advance Directives.

  • Resources to Address Social Determinants of Health

    What are Social Determinants of Health (SDoH)?

    These are non-medical factors that affect health and well being and may include conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, play and pray. Is your medicine too expensive? Do you have a doctor? Do you have a way to get to your appointment? Are you getting your health information in a way you can understand? These are a few examples of the effects of SDoH.

    For assistance locating resources, please visit findhelp.org and 211.

Identifying Mental Health Needs for Faith Leaders

Three people in prayer

As you know, faith institutions are more than places of worship, they are vibrant communities with shared visions and a commitment to build a bridge between faith and wellness. Because we have a community partnership or connection with you, we are asking you to please join Texas Health Community Health Ministry to empower faith communities in addressing mental health concerns among congregants and work alongside of us to build that bridge. We are asking you to provide us with feedback on what you believe to be the most critical issues on mental health among your congregants.

This request for information is based on Texas Health taking a deeper dive into results from previous surveys you participated in. All information is confidential and used only to provide resources/education materials to you. Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you!

Faith Community Connections
Connections listed here are resources to support communities and help to improve health and well-being. Faith Communities are willing to collaborate with other faith communities to address unmet needs of social determinants of health, which are non-medical factors that influence health outcomes. They are conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live and pray. There are many issues around social determinants of health that are responsible for health inequities.  What challenges do you face?
  • Finance Budget: Is your medicine too expensive?
  • Having health information you can understand.
  • Health Care: Do you have a doctor? Do you have a way to get to your appointment?
  • Where You Live: Are you close to a grocery store? Do you feel safe walking in your neighborhood?
