Our Community First
#OurCommunityFirstWe work here. We live here. We give here.
At Community First, our mission is to not only improve the health outcomes of our Members, but also the overall health of our community. We understand that health care is more than just doctors’ visits. That’s why we are proud to partner with non-profit and charitable organizations that wholeheartedly support the unique needs of our diverse community…our familia.
A portion of all Community First’s proceeds goes directly towards improving the community we are a part of. We are proud of the impact our contributions have made over the years.

COMUNIDAD PRIMERO
Community First Health Plans dedicates this 144-foot mural to the vibrant history and spirit of San Antonio’s West Side. The artwork honors the families, traditions, and generations that make this area special. Created by artists participating in the San Antonio Street Art Initiative’s Brick by Brick career-development program, the mural represents both local talent and deep community collaboration.
We are proud to celebrate the culture and strength of the West Side community.
OUR PHILANTHROPIC EFFORTS
Education
We are invested in supporting educators, improving student performance, and encouraging diversity in our schools. We believe that students from all backgrounds deserve a quality education, including access to opportunities and technology that can help lead them toward a bright future.
Transportation
Improving transportation in our community promotes economic development and improves the overall quality of life as it contributes to the overall safety of individuals and provides access to healthcare appointments.
Food Insecurity & Disaster Relief
1 in 7 of our fellow Texans don’t always know where their next meal is coming from. We are dedicated to helping end food insecurity experienced by so many in our community. We also support organizations that provide for families in the event of an emergency, natural disaster, or crisis.
Housing
Housing has been found to improve health outcomes and decrease health care costs. Increasing stability with proper housing provides positive impacts on mental health and physical health.
Community First Food Pantries
Our Community First Food Pantries are designed to provide members of our community who are facing food insecurity essential non-perishable items in accessible and trusted locations throughout San Antonio and surrounding counties.
