Giving Back to the Community
Through the years, Allegiance Health has demonstrated its commitment to improve the health and wellness of our community by supporting a multitude of community benefit programs. These programs represent our investment to provide no-cost services that address significant community needs. Beyond our normal services, these projects are an extension of our mission as a not-for-profit health system.
Here are some of the mission-based, uncompensated services we provided in 2008. View our 2008 Report to the Community »
