Mission & Focus Areas

Memorial Hermann’s stated mission is to improve health, with a vision of creating healthier communities now and for generations to come. Its values are community, compassion, credibility and courage.

The system’s 2025 Community Health Needs Assessment identifies four health priorities: access to health care; chronic conditions prevention and management; maternal and infant health; and mental health and substance use. It also identifies three non-medical drivers of health: access to healthy food, economic opportunity and educational access. The system says it uses the assessment to guide hospital-specific implementation plans.

Its 2025 grants included support for charitable programs, community programs, sponsorships and general fundraising. Among the recipients, Memorial Hermann Community Benefit Corporation says its mission is to implement collaborative and evidence-based solutions to improve community health. The American Heart Association describes its mission as promoting longer, healthier lives; The Rose says it provides breast-health services, advocacy and access to care; and Jewish Family Service says it empowers individuals, families and communities. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not separate statements of Memorial Hermann’s mission.
