The Huntsville Housing Authority (HHA) is proud to announce a vital partnership with the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) College of Nursing to launch the “Neighborhood Nursing Program.” This initiative will bring free, accessible health checkups and education directly to residents in the Calvary Hills and Northwoods communities throughout the first quarter of 2026.
The Neighborhood Nursing Program is designed to bridge the gap in healthcare access by bringing professional care into the heart of local neighborhoods. By meeting residents where they live, the program aims to make health maintenance easier and more attainable for everyone, regardless of insurance status.
“Our mission at HHA is to provide resources that enhance the quality of life for our families,” said Antonio McGinnis, Executive Director of the Huntsville Housing Authority. “Partnering with the UAH College of Nursing allows us to offer critical health services that promote long-term wellness and self-sufficiency within our communities.”
