Overview

Mission

Heal's goal is to integrate and systematize a process for addressing health disparities that are prevalent in children who live in poverty. We believe that these health disparities are a major causal factor that results in academic failure. We also believe that the best way to address these factors is where the child is every day- at school. It is a public health approach to community based prevantative health and mental health services.

What it reported doing in 2024

Heal is focused on improving health and academic outcomes for Louisiana's children by making sure that every child in schools has access to quality healthcare in their school setting. Providing health services in schools, both mental and physical, plays a critical role in helping children achieve academically. Heal builds the capacity of schools and districts to manage the health of their students through its coordinated care for the whole child program. Heal has provided over 122,533 preventative health screenings to over 69,900 children and over 1,600 mental health consultation and interventions to children identified as high-risk by their school. Identified students receive intensive multidisciplinary evaluations by school nurses, psychologists, psychiatrists, and other educational and health professionals. Heal has served over 586,000 students and partnered with over 111 charter schools and early learning centers, and 22 parish wide school districts in Louisiana.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 74% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
