Heal-Corp, a rapidly growing nonprofit based inTexas and Florida, has built its reputation on a simple but powerful mission: to bring specialized support, compassion, and capability to communities facing crisis. What began as a small group of disaster-response volunteers has evolved into an organization known for its close collaboration with state agencies and its unique, multi-layered approach to emergency operations.
Heal-Corp stands out for the breadth of its search-and-rescue capabilities. The organization fields certified K9 search teams, a trained mule team for access to remote or debris-blocked terrain, a rapidly expanding drone division providing thermal imaging and aerial mapping, and a dive team prepared for water-based searches and recoveries. These assets work in combination, allowing the organization to assist state agencies during complex, multiday search operations across a wide variety of environments.
In addition to its rescue teams, Heal-Corp possesses strong medical capabilities led by experienced disaster physicians and trained medical personnel. The organization is able to deploy rapidly, establish medical trailers and field tents, and begin providing care almost immediately—whether in the aftermath of a natural disaster or in support of underserved communities in need of essential services.
These combined capacities proved invaluable during one of the largest operations in Heal-Corp’s history: the devastating floods in Central Texas earlier this year. Entire neighborhoods in Kerr County were submerged, families displaced, and multiple individuals reported missing. Heal-Corp mobilized nearly 100 volunteers and deployed its K9 units, drones, mule team, boats, medical staff, and dive personnel. Working closely with state agencies, the team assisted in search operations, maintained equipment in harsh, muddy terrain, and supported affected families throughout the multiday response. The mission highlighted Heal-Corp’s ability not only to respond quickly but also to adapt its diverse resources to rapidly changing conditions.
Today, Heal-Corp continues expanding its impact beyond emergency response. The organization has launched a new humanitarian initiative in Jamaica following severe storm damage that left families without access to medical supplies, food, and safe community spaces. Heal-Corp is preparing shipments of essential items to support roof repairs for a local congregation that serves as a critical pillar of the community. The organization is seeking ongoing support to help move these efforts forward and restore stability to the hardest-hit areas.
As Heal-Corp grows, so does its ability to serve. Through partnerships with state agencies, specialized rescue teams, and committed medical professionals, the organization remains dedicated to strengthening community resilience.
Heal-Corp is currently working to outfit their dive team trailer. Help contribute by visiting www.heal-corp.org/donate/.
