Interconnected Gears of Change
The HEAL (Hope Empower Access Live) Collaborative is more than a project, it is a community movement for long-lasting change to improve the health and quality of life of our residents. We are community residents, youth leaders, schools, businesses, and organizations. We work hand-in-hand, building on our shared strengths and knowledge to address the hopes, needs, and challenges of our residents. We strive to bring all people to the table to make a change, connecting those who traditionally hold power with those who may have been excluded. We change systems and policies to ensure resources are accessible to all. We hope to bring to life our motto:
“Working Better Together!”
