If your institution is a licensed and accredited proprietary institution of higher education offering programs in allied health, you are eligible to become a member of the HEAL Coalition.

Reasons to Join

• Congress defines the need for allied health education and training
  Federal health legislation will affect your institution, students, curriculum, programs, recruitment, and placement practices.  The HEAL Coalition will help you stay on the cutting edge of the changes affecting your school.
  
• Proprietary institution eligibility is often omitted in developing allied health policies and programs
  Proposed legislation often limits or prohibits a proprietary institution’s or its students’ eligibility to participate in federal allied health-related programs.  The HEAL Coalition will develop and implement effective strategies to increase awareness of and support for the inclusion of proprietary institutions in all relevant allied health legislation.
• Competing interests already have established influence in Washington
  The public higher education community has at least two organizations established that lobby for the interests of traditional universities and community colleges offering allied health programs.  The HEAL Coalition will provide the voice for the interests of proprietary institutions of higher education.
  
• The proprietary sector needs to fill the void
  It is time for the proprietary sector to find its voice in the allied health debate and protect the interests of our community and students.  The HEAL Coalition has the knowledge, expertise, and access to fill the void.  We can and will make a difference!

If allied health issues are important to your institution and your students, join the HEAL Coalition today!
