The mission of the Arkansas Health Equity and Access Lab (HEAL) is to pioneer research, foster collaboration, and drive innovation to measurably reduce health disparities and increase access to care in Arkansas. Through rigorous investigation, community engagement, and strategic partnerships, we strive to create transformative solutions that address the root causes of health inequities throughout the state. Our work is grounded in a commitment to evidence-based practices and the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to achieve their highest level of health.
HEAL is a joint endeavor between the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), Little Rock.
