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.
Spokane Wildfire Support
Our thoughts are with all those affected by the ongoing wildfires in our region including partners, staff, board, and community. Thank you to all the first responders, local firefighters, and emergency crews working around the clock to protect our community, and to all of the various ways we have watched folks step up to help one another through these difficult times.
Our Community Care Hub is open for Apple Health (Medicaid) member referrals to support basic needs, we connect clients to free one-on-one support with a coordinator to get access to care.
Our local Care Coordinators can help connect you with resources for:
- Housing and emergency assistance
- Food and basic needs
- Health coverage and medical resources
- Childcare
- Employment and resume support
- Mental health and other community services
If you or your family could use extra support during this difficult time, we’re here to help.
