Building a Community Care Hub in Eastern Washington

Healthcare is more than what happens at the doctor or in a clinical setting. We know from experience our community has unique needs that can’t be served by providing the same care and treatment plan to all without considering diverse lived experience, cultural, and language needs. That’s why we match folks with a care coordinator at one of our trusted partner organizations who can work with them step-by-step to find the right basic, medical, and cultural support for their unique needs, and is with them every step of the way.
