🤝 Listening to Our Communities. Planning for the Future.

Arukah Institute of Healing recently completed a Community Needs Assessment across Bureau, Marshall, LaSalle, and Putnam Counties. Through community meetings held in Princeton and Ottawa, local leaders, educators, health professionals, service providers, faith leaders, and community members came together to share insights on our region's strengths, opportunities, and unmet needs.

The feedback gathered will help guide future planning, strengthen services, and ensure we remain responsive to the communities we serve.
