Heartland Alliance Health
Heartland Alliance approaches health and healing holistically. They know that factors such as income, education level, physical environments, and social supports are deeply connected to a person’s health. When participants don’t have a safe home, stable income, or supportive environment, it can be impossible for their mental and physical health to improve. Their goal is not just to meet basic needs, but  to provide more than a roof over someone’s head, more than a single doctor’s visit.
