Description
Valley Baptist Legacy Foundation supports work demonstrating positive health effects for residents of Cameron, Hidalgo, Starr, and Willacy counties in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. The Foundation defines health as physical, mental, spiritual, and social well-being. Its priorities include obesity and diabetes prevention—its number-one strategic priority—healthy lifestyles, access to care, mental health, aging in place, and dental health.

Priority goes to proposals that reach many people, foster collaboration, use resources effectively, offer replicable programs, and receive community support.
