Mission El Buen Samaritano is an outreach ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas committed to helping Latino and other families in Central Texas lead healthy, productive and secure lives through high-quality and affordable healthcare, education and financial security services.
Description For 30 years, El Buen has built healthy, resilient and vibrant communities by addressing the physical, social and emotional wellbeing of families. We do this by offering coordinated medical, literacy, food assistance and spiritual support services to promote healthy behaviors for the family. Our distinctive approach to healthcare supports a person’s physical and mental health – a keystone for wellbeing and resilience.
As a mission of the Episcopal Diocese, we demonstrate our commitment to the community by being responsive and supportive to their changing needs and serve a vital role in reducing health disparities. By design, we focus on culturally and linguistically appropriate services. We embrace our responsibility to protect the rights of people to live healthy, productive and secure lives by deliberately interacting with the community to understand their needs and provide a wide variety of services to improve health, strengthen families, create opportunities and foster community.
