Our Impact
“Heartland saved my life. They got me in as a new client when I was at the end of my rope, and other places couldn’t get me in for months. I love the community we have here. They give me so much love and support. There’s no other place I’d rather be.”
-Patrick, client, peer employee & new member board of director
