The Hult Center for Healthy Living was established through the merger of two organizations, the Hult Center for Health Education and the Cancer Center for Healthy Living in 2011.  The merger came about as a means of strengthening both community-based not-for-profit organizations that shared similar missions. In 2013 Mental Health America of Illinois Valley joined HCHL, strengthening the organization?s commitment to comprehensive health, education and wellness services to people of all ages.  The Hult Center for Healthy Living?s mission is to ?empower people to live healthier lives.?
