Health Education Advocacy Leadership, Inc. — HEAL, Inc. — is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We are not a division of HEAL Medical Group. We are a separate organization that collaborates with HMG, universities, faith communities, and other nonprofits to advance public and community health.

We welcome students, clinicians, educators, and community members who want to volunteer their time, skills, and expertise. Whether you are a nursing student, FNP, PA, public health professional, medical student, or community advocate — there is a place for you here.

“Coming Together to Eliminate Health Disparities and Inequities”
Health Education Advocacy Leadership, Inc.
Our Mission
Eliminate health disparities through education, advocacy, and community action.
Health disparities are not inevitable — they are the result of systems that have failed communities. We bring together clinicians, educators, advocates, students, and organizations to dismantle those barriers and build pathways to equitable health for everyone, regardless of zip code, income, race, or background.
Our Vision
Communities where every person achieves their fullest possible health — unbound by disparity.
A future where health is not determined by neighborhood, skin color, or income. Where health education reaches every community. Where students gain real-world clinical and public health experience. Where faith communities are trusted health partners. Where every willing volunteer finds their highest use.
What We Are Working Toward
1
Eliminate Health Disparities in Underserved Communities
Identify, measure, and systematically address gaps in health outcomes driven by race, income, geography, and social determinants of health.
2
Advance Health Education and Literacy
Deliver culturally competent health education programs through workshops, health fairs, and partnerships with universities, schools, and community organizations.
3
Advocate for Equitable Access to Care
Navigate systems on behalf of patients — insurance appeals, Medicaid and Medicare enrollment, VA benefits, social services, and housing support.
4
Build Community and Clinical Partnerships
Create lasting coalitions between healthcare providers, universities, faith organizations, nonprofits, and public health agencies working toward shared health equity goals.
5
Develop the Next Generation of Health Advocates
Provide meaningful volunteer and experiential learning opportunities for nursing students, FNPs, PAs, medical students, public health, and community health students.
6
Sustain a Community-Centered Nonprofit Model
Build a financially sustainable 501(c)(3) through grants, donations, and partnerships that fund programs serving those who need it most.
The Gap Is Real. And Closeable.

Health disparities cost lives. Black Americans are 40% more likely to die from heart disease. Latino communities face barriers to preventive care. Low-income populations experience higher rates of every chronic disease. These are not statistics — they are our neighbors, our patients, our community.

HEAL, Inc. exists because the gap between who receives excellent healthcare and who does not is not a medical problem — it is a community problem. And community problems require community solutions.
