Heart City Health
Elkhart's Quality, Affordable Health Care ProviderFor Every Stage Of Your Life

WHOLEHEARTED
Heart City Health refers to it as Wholehearted Health Care which basically means complete healthcare for every stage of life. Even though that is significant and a common sense approach to healthcare, Heart City takes it a step farther by ensuring that they deliver quality healthcare and affordable healthcare to residents of Elkhart County.

Established in 1993, Heart City Health is a 501(c)(3) non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center providing affordable, high quality medical, dental, and behavioral health care to local residents (in Elkhart County) . With a growing awareness and reputation for constantly improving the quality of health care and healthcare services that they provide, Heart City Health is making a bigger, better name for themselves everyday.

Their policies are quite unique in the fact that while Heart City Health may take positions on or advocate with regard to public policy issues pertinent to its mission, consistent with the requirements of applicable Federal and state law, they conduct their activities in an entirely nonpartisan manner. Heart City Health may acknowledge the elected officials who support them, but we do not endorse, support, or oppose candidates for public office, nor do they intervene in an election on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate of a political party. This position keeps a clean reputation and conscious for the respected healthcare provider.

The Heart City Health Goal
The basic goal (over and above providing quality, affordable healthcare to Elkhart County residents) is to become the Patient-Centered Medical Home for residents of the Elkhart community. Their intention is to provide everything from pediatric to adult to geriatric care to those residents... and to make this a better, happier and of course healthier community!
