Healing Hands Institute

What Healing Hands Institute does

Healing Hands Institute (HHI) is a privately held, for-profit vocational school operating a single 5,512-square-foot campus at 2141 SW 1st Street, Suite 201, Miami, Florida. The institution was formed to deliver massage therapy training and, in 2014, broadened its catalog to include allied health programs: Medical Assistant (900 hours), Patient Care Technician (600 hours), Phlebotomy Technician, Home Health Aide (75 hours), Nursing Assistant, and Facial Specialist (260 hours). It also offers continuing education units, MBLEx exam preparation, CNA/HHA in-service training, and serves as an on-site American Medical Certification Association (AMCA) testing site. The school is licensed by the Florida Department of Education (License #4682) but is not accredited and does not participate in Title IV federal financial aid.

Technically, the school is a low-tech, in-person training operation. Its core instructional assets are physical classrooms, practice rooms, a library/resource center with instructional videos and texts, and partnerships such as LIRN for virtual library access. There is no proprietary software, no mobile app, no API, and no digital product surface — education is delivered face-to-face on the Miami campus.

HHI's revenue model is tuition-based, with students paying program fees plus registration, plus ancillary sales of books and learning materials. Pricing is hybrid: tuition can be paid in full or financed through an interest-free in-house payment plan requiring a minimum $100 deposit and monthly installments, with a $25 late fee. Enrollment is direct-to-consumer through an online application form, with admissions representatives handling academic advisement and enrollment agreements. The customer base is individual healthcare career aspirants — career changers and entry-level workers pursuing vocational credentials in massage therapy and allied health — concentrated in the South Florida market.
