Project H.E.A.L

Helping Central Minnesota Residents Overcome Barriers to Health Care

Don’t let the lack of health insurance — or not having good coverage — stop you from seeking medical care when you need it.

Project H.E.A.L. (Health, Education, Access, Link) is an outreach program of CentraCare Coordinated Care Services. Project H.E.A.L. offers free health screenings and basic care at various locations across Central Minnesota for those who have little or no insurance.

Locations

The goal of Project H.E.A.L. is to overcome the barriers to health care for the under-served population of our communities. We help people overcome the barriers of transportation, inadequate or lack of insurance, financial resources for co-payments and medications, language and culture. None of these should stand in the way of you and your family receiving the quality medical care you need.
