Altrua HealthShare is a faith-based health care sharing ministry, operating as a 501c3 under the Affordable Care Act and based in Austin, Texas. In the wellness and fitness services sector, it coordinates a nationwide membership that contributes monthly into an escrow pool from which eligible medical needs are shared according to established guidelines, with members remaining self-pay rather than purchasing traditional insurance. The model is rooted in scriptural principles of bearing one another's burdens, and the organization notes that no eligible medical need has gone unshared since it began. The organization serves individuals and families across the United States seeking alternatives to conventional health coverage, including those exploring options beyond Marketplace plans. Membership is limited to people who share a clean, healthy lifestyle in line with personal convictions, and participants do not share in unhealthy habits. A recent development is the appointment of Heather Nanni as Director of Ministry in April 2025, reflecting leadership expansion.
