MISSION
Hearts for the Homeless (H4H) UTD is a chapter of H4H International which aims to improve the health and well-being of one of the most vulnerable populations in our nation through free blood pressure screenings, education, and outreach opportunities for students who wish to contribute to our effort. We hope to aid the homeless community in Dallas by collaborating with other non-profit organizations and fostering caring interactions between volunteers, homeless individuals, and others in the community. We also seek to educate members about cardiovascular disease and the hidden difficulties faced by the homeless community, aspiring to help build socially conscious and empathetic leaders driven to create change in their communities.
