About Project Heal of Santa Barbara County

Empowering Communities Through Compassion, Connection, and Care

Project Heal of Santa Barbara County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded on the belief that everyone deserves access to compassionate, culturally relevant healthcare navigation and wellness support. Since 2014, we've been a trusted community partner providing Patient Care Advocacy, health literacy education, and customized self-care resources to individuals and families across Santa Barbara, Ventura, and (soon) Los Angeles Counties.

We specialize in serving people impacted by systemic barriers—including those who are uninsured, unhoused, living with chronic illness, or managing mental health challenges. Through our holistic approach, we support our community’s well-being by focusing on the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) that influence everything from housing and food access to emotional support and preventative care.

🌿 What We Do

We provide:

Patient Care Advocate Consultants who help navigate complex health systems
Self-Care Management Toolkits tailored to your lifestyle and needs
Health Policy Podcasts that translate policy into plain English (with soul)
Health Literacy Campaigns to boost confidence and awareness
Peer and community wellness workshops and wellness planning
Resource navigation for Medi-Cal, CenCal, Denti-Cal, and mental health services

🎯 Our Mission

To advocate, educate, and inform with compassion—helping individuals and families take control of their health journey while building inclusive, empowered communities.
