Overview
How we work
The HEAL Initiative connects, trains, and mentors local healthcare professionals in resource-denied communities to strengthen care delivery and lay the foundation for enduring, systemic improvements in healthcare worker resilience and patient outcomes.
We identify and partner with healthcare institutions and local governments around the world that serve marginalized communities, need to fill healthcare vacancies, and share HEAL’s values.
We recruit healthcare workers deeply committed to the communities in which we work and who are passionate and committed to caring for the underserved.
We provide intensive training in advocacy, leadership, and power dynamics to shift health workers’ approach to healthcare to address the root causes of disease, not just the symptoms.
We pair fellows with mentors from similar cultural backgrounds who provide tailored guidance to help set and achieve professional goals.
We connect healthcare workers with a global community of peers facing similar barriers and create a space to share ideas, develop collaborative solutions, and offer mutual support.
Mission
HEAL connects, trains, and mentors healthcare workers committed to resource-denied areas—building a lifelong community of leaders transforming health systems from within.
Vision
We envision a world where every community has healthcare workers with the leadership, resilience, and resources to deliver high-quality, locally led healthcare.
