YOUR GUIDE
TO GIVING
Why is Your Support
Important
From its humble beginnings in
1905 as Spohn Sanitarium on
Corpus Christi’s North Beach,
CHRISTUS Spohn Health System
has emerged as the healthcare
leader in South Texas. Today,
our physicians, nurses, and
specialists continue the legacy
established by the Sisters of
Charity of the Incarnate Word
and Dr. Arthur E. Spohn by
providing the most advanced,
compassionate care for our
entire community. While
healthcare has changed during
our more than a century of
serving the Coastal Bend, our
commitment to extending the
healing ministry of Jesus Christ
remains resolute to the heart of
our mission in our 12-county
service area. The CHRISTUS
Spohn Foundation relies upon
the support of our generous
benefactors to help us continue
to meet the expectations of
individuals who look to us for
the best in medical care for
themselves and their families.
The Foundation raises funds that
provides equipment, education,
improved and new facilities
and new programs in our South
Texas area of care. We are a
501(c)(3) nonprofit. All gifts are
tax-deductible to the extent
allowed by law.
