Keeping Children Healthy For The School Year Ahead
Since 1997, CHRISTUS School-based Clinics have been providing on-campus care to children attending schools in Houston’s under-served neighborhoods. Today, the program positively impacts 16 schools near the inner city and in communities south of Houston, including Dickinson, Bacliff and Bay Shores. With a new school year in full swing, CHRISTUS nurse practitioners leading the School-based Clinics program have undertaken a number of initiatives designed to promote better health for kids and their families.

CHRISTUS St. Mary’s Clinic Poised for Expansion
This fall, CHRISTUS St. Mary’s Clinic, located on Houston’s southeast side, looks to double in physical size and its capacity to serve a community in need of quality healthcare. This expansion is possible thanks in large part to the CHRISTUS St. Mary’s Challenge funding initiative. An anonymous benefactor of St. Mary’s Clinic pledged $150,000 toward the expansion of St. Mary’s Clinic in the form of a challenge grant. The grant challenges CHRISTUS Foundation to raise $300,000 in additional funds for St. Mary’s Clinic. By meeting CHRISTUS St. Mary’s Challenge and expanding the Clinic, an estimated 14,000 low-income patients per year will receive the necessary healthcare that would otherwise be out of reach for them. To donate to CHRISTUS St. Mary’s Challenge, visit CHRISTUSFoundation.org.

CHRISTUS St. Mary’s Clinic provides primary healthcare for low-income patients. Directed by Sister Rosanne Popp, M.D., the Clinic delivers compassionate, expert treatment, regardless of a patient’s ability to pay.

More Than Scraped Elbows
The seeds for program growth were planted this summer, in a number of fun health-related camps directed by CHRISTUS nurse practitioners. Children were invited to learn the benefits of nutrition, exercise and good hygiene in a energized environment. CHRISTUS School-based Clinics are also taking a leading role in helping families manage asthma. Working in accord with the American Lung Association’s Enhancing Asthma Care Program, CHRISTUS nurse practitioners help students and parents better understand “asthma basics” and the use of asthma medication.

As the school year progresses, CHRISTUS School-based Clinics will expand on-campus services to welcome mental health assistance, in partnership with Catholic Charities. On-site counselors will help students deal with academic stress, peer pressure, bullying and problems at home. Additionally, CHRISTUS School-based Clinics will pursue ongoing efficiencies in electronic record keeping, telemedicine and provision of on-campus medical assistance every school day. Help our School-based Clinics keep their momentum in the new school year, make a donation at CHRISTUSFoundation.org

CHRISTUS Our Daily Bread Client Update – Homeless at 18, Tye Finds Hope
For the last few years Tye, age 18, had been a ward of Children’s Protective Services. Hoping to start a new life, he made his way to Galveston where he had family. Unfortunately, this plan did not work out as Tye had hoped and he found himself homeless. Word of mouth led Tye to CHRISTUS Our Daily Bread for a hot meal. Speaking with an Our Daily Bread counselor, Tye shared his wish to get back in high school and complete his senior year. Much to his delight, with help from CHRISTUS Our Daily Bread, he’s doing just that and more. Tye is now residing at a family shelter where he has his own efficiency apartment, and working toward to getting his diploma. Founded in 1986 by the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, CHRISTUS Our Daily Bread provides support services to homeless men and women. While upholding the dignity of each person, staff members give guidance and structure to help break the cycle of homelessness. To help support Our Daily Bread, visit CHRISTUSFoundation.org.

Recently, CHRISTUS Health announced that it had entered into an agreement with Houston Methodist to develop a partnership for the ongoing operation of CHRISTUS St. John Hospital, CHRISTUS St. Catherine Hospital and CHRISTUS Stehlin Foundation for Cancer Research. I want to clarify that this partnership does not include CHRISTUS Foundation for HealthCare nor any of our programs. We have cared for Houston's most vulnerable residents for nearly 50 years, and our work in the community will continue. In fact, the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, our sponsors, have renewed their commitment to CHRISTUS Foundation for HealthCare and plan to work closely with us to expand and grow our community health programs such as CHRISTUS St. Mary's Clinic, CHRISTUS Healthy Living Mobile Clinics, CHRISTUS School-based Clinics, Point of Light Clinic, and CHRISTUS Our Daily Bread. If you have any questions, or need additional information please visit our website CHRISTUSFoundation.org or contact me at 713-652-3100. Thank you.
