About Equity Heartbeats

Meeting communities where they are—with dignity, action, and support

Who We Are

No Barriers. Just Support.

Equity Heartbeats was founded on a simple belief: no one should have to struggle to access the care they need most. We don't wait for communities to come to us—we go to them. On their streets, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, and in rural villages where healthcare is miles away.

We're volunteer-powered, community-led, and committed to sustaining action. Our work spans California and reaches internationally, but our philosophy stays the same: meet people where they are, support their needs sustainably, and always lead with dignity and respect.

Our Vision

A World Without Health Barriers

We envision a world where access to education and health equity isn't determined by zip code, income, or geography. Where every person—regardless if on a California street or in a small village abroad—has the support they need to live with equality, dignity, and wellness.
