Overview

Mission

The Harris County Healthcare Alliance serves as a catalyst for improving the health care delivery system of Houston/Harris County.

What it reported doing in 2015

Harris County Healthcare Alliance (the Alliance) was formed in 2006 as the culmination of work conducted by the Greater Houston Partnerships Public Health Task Force and the Harris County Public Health Care System Council. The mission of the Alliance was to serve as a catalyst for improving the healthcare system of Houston/Harris County. The Board of Directors resolved on August 27, 2015, to recommend that the Alliance be liquidated. At a meeting held on September 24, 2015, the Board of Directors adopted a plan to commence liquidation of the Alliance. The resolution was filed with relevant federal and state authorities in February 2016. The Alliance closed down its office at the end of the 2015 calendar year, and the termination of the Alliances activities was completed in the first quarter 2016. In 2016, the Alliance transferred the agreement with the City of Houston for the Emergency TeleHealth and Navigation (ETHAN) program to Greater Houston Healthconnect and donated its remaining net assets of approximately $174,000 to Harris County Hospital District Foundation.
