Exalta Health, formerly Health Intervention Services, was established in 1996 by local physicians, nurses, social workers, pastors, and business people to serve underprivileged women with faith-centered medical care. The acronym HIS was created to represent the Christian motivation for service. The mission quickly expanded to include all those without access to health care. Located in the Burton Heights area of Grand Rapids since 1998, Exalta Health became a trusted resource for healthcare in the West Michigan community.
In 2017 to more accurately communicate who we are and what we do, our name was changed to Exalta Health lifting up health and praising God who makes this work possible. Time has also brought other changes including integrating behavioral health into our physical health team, measuring our impact on patients and the community, focusing on the social factors that determine health, and supporting people where they live and work.
What remains the same through these changes is our commitment to improving the health of our community motivated by our belief in the healing power of Jesus.
