WHO WE ARE
The HEART of Blair County is a collaborative initiative brought to life by a dedicated group of social services and education professionals. Our interagency team is composed of passionate individuals representing a wide array of organizations across Blair County, including mental health agencies, educational institutions, non-profit organizations, and local government agencies. We have come together with a shared mission: to create a more connected, informed, and inclusive community where every resident has the opportunity to thrive.
Our team members bring diverse expertise, from healthcare and mental health services to education and community development. Together, we leverage our collective knowledge and resources to address the unique challenges faced by our community. We understand that each person in Blair County has distinct needs and circumstances, and we are committed to ensuring that our services and information are accessible to all, regardless of background or ability.
Why We Created the HEART of Blair County
Blair County is a vibrant community with a wealth of events, activities, and resources. However, we recognized that many residents face significant barriers when trying to access this information. Whether due to technological limitations, language barriers, geographic isolation, or other challenges, these obstacles prevent people from fully participating in community life and accessing the services they need.
We created the HEART of Blair County to overcome these barriers and ensure that everyone in our community has the tools to stay informed and engaged. Our platform serves as a centralized hub where residents can easily find information about local events, activities, and services, all in one convenient place. By bringing this information together, we aim to reduce the fragmentation and confusion that can occur when trying to navigate multiple sources of information.
