Moving Toward Federally Qualified Health Center Look Alike (FQHC-LA)
HEALS, Inc. is strengthening its commitment to providing high-quality health care for children and families across North Alabama through a strategic restructuring of its Board of Directors as part of the transition toward FQHC-LA status.
As part of this effort, more than 51% of HEALS’ governing board now includes representatives of HEALS patients, including parents and guardians, ensuring the voices of the families we serve remain at the center of our mission.
Committed to Sustainable, High-Quality Health care for Children.
