Health Education Advocacy Learning
Grant Park
HEAL Collaborative is a nonprofit organization focused on H ealth E ducation A dvocacy and L earning. We are passionate about improving the health of our community.
We form meaningful partnerships with faith-based organizations and leverage culturally relevant health education resources to help the Black community:
Additionally, we advocate for improvements in healthcare quality, accessibility, and affordability for people of color. This advocacy includes outreach to policymakers and medical leaders.
Education remains our primary focus. We provide a space for patients, caregivers, and high-risk individuals to come face-to-face with their legislators and healthcare systems to begin a necessary dialog. Prioritizing education has equipped congregations, legislators, and healthcare systems with the tools to prioritize the critical health needs of disadvantaged communities.
Communities of color are healthy. We know that healthy communities have better mental health, increased job opportunities, and higher incomes.
To develop healthy communities of color, we will use our collaborative relationships, innovation, community action, and public advocacy. Our organization is built on the idea that every community should have access to resources that help them thrive. We collaborate with neighbors and professionals at every level to empower communities to be both healthy and happy.
