This morning, El Buen Samaritano was honored to receive the Recognize Good Ethics in Business Nonprofit Award. We are deeply grateful for this recognition and proud to stand alongside organizations committed to leading with integrity, compassion, and accountability.

At El Buen, ethics are woven into how we serve our community every day through culturally responsive care that recognizes the dignity of all and creates spaces where individuals and families feel seen, supported, and experience a true sense of belonging. We believe ethical leadership means walking alongside our community with humanity and purpose as we work to advance health, education, and opportunity across Central Texas.

Thank you to Joel and the team for this meaningful honor and for uplifting values-driven leadership in our community.
