About SLHI

St. Luke's Health Initiatives is a public foundation located in Phoenix, Arizona. Our work is focused primarily in Maricopa County - the greater Phoenix metropolitan area - although we are occasionally engaged in statewide projects.

SLHI pursues its mission in four general areas:

Arizona Health Futures. SLHI's health policy and education arm. Its purpose is to conduct relevant and timely policy research; provide balanced, non-partisan information and perspectives on health issues in Arizona; serve as a convener and forum for the critical discussion of those issues in an independent and policy-neutral setting; and translate good ideas into action through the support of community-based initiatives. See Arizona Health Futures for more information.

Community Grants. Our grant program is focused on increasing the organizational capacity of health and human service organizations, as well as on promoting grassroots community development. See grant resources for more information.

Medical Assistance. A portion of our funds is restricted to direct medical assistance for persons in need through a network of community health partners. See medical assistance for details.

Affiliate Organizations. SLHI provides support to The Board of Visitors, The Hon Kachina Council, and The Tempe Governors - which formerly raised funds for SLHI's predecessor nonprofit hospital system and now raise funds for community health needs and volunteer recognition.
