St David's Foundation (SDF)

The Foundation is actively involved in meeting the needs of indigent members of the community through grants for indigent primary care, mental health services, services for the elderly and grants for wellness programs. The Foundation annually invests more than $70 million in grants to support community health and well-being. The Foundation invests in periods of vulnerability and opportunity across the lifespan from our youngest children to older adults. We also recognize and work to reduce the barriers to care for our rural neighbors and harness the potential for clinics to serve as community hubs for health.

The Foundation controls hospitals dedicated to serving central Texas under the community benefit standard and the affordable care act. St. David's healthcare partnership includes hospitals, free-standing emergency rooms, ambulatory care centers, and urgent care centers. The Foundation earned $171.5m in revenues from the provision of healthcare services through St. David's healthcare partnership. See schedule h for more details.
