“Community services for the poor and underserved rooted in our mission and tradition the founders and sponsors of christus health and those who co-minister with them seek new and innovative ways of delivering quality health care that is both affordable and accessible to all. Today, more than ever, we must aim to improve the total health status of the community through programs that place our services where they are needed most, with special attention and preference given to programs that support and benefit the health and welfare of the poor and underserved. Community srvices for the poor and underserved represent the unpaid cost of services provided for which a patient is not billed, or for which a fee has been assessed that recovers only a portion of the cost of the rendered service. This category includes initiatives that reach out to those in need through community health and social programs. These programs seek justice for the vulnerable and work to bring about changes in our political and economic systems. The programs cover a broad spectrum of services from charity clinics to immunizations for children and seniors, counseling for mental health and substance abuse, meals for the homeless, transportation services, home repair projects and a variety of other social services.
