Our Purpose

God created us to be whole and healthy and it’s our purpose as healthcare providers and as an organization to empower those God has given us to serve and enable them to walk in His designed plan of health and healing.

H.E.A.L. Mississippi was established in 2017 as a strategy to improve health outcomes related to preventable chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other related conditions that effect heart functioning in minority communities due to the health disparities and health inequities these communities face as it relates to having access to quality healthcare services.

Our goal is to eliminate barriers Mississippians face in receiving quality healthcare services and provide equitable, easily accessible, quality healthcare services to all regardless of a person’s ability to pay. We began achieving this goal by hosting and participating in health fairs/health screening events all throughout the state of Mississippi providing blood glucose screenings, body composition analyses, nutritional assessments, cholesterol screenings, blood pressure checks and disseminating evidence-based disease prevention/management information. Through these efforts, we have been able to establish ourselves as a trusted healthcare organization, enabling us to advance organizationally from working out of a room in our executive director’s home, to establishing a thriving brick and mortar healthcare facility in the heart of Jackson, MS.
