Apple Health Expansion in Eastern Washington

In June, BHT and a number of our community partners got together to pre-enroll folks in need into the program before enrollment opened on June 20,2024. Due to limited funding, the available spaces filled up in less than 48 hours, however BHT and Community Partners had the honor of enrolling over 990 individuals in Eastern Washington!  

We want to thank our partners who worked diligently to help community members apply to the program, create and distribute resource guides, and host workshops. This community effort couldn’t have been successful without the organizations listed below.  

• Latinos en Spokane 

• Unidos Nueva Alianza 

• Nuestras Raices 

• Mujeres in Action 

• Manzanita House 

Open enrollment for Qualified Health and Dental Plans will begin on November 1, 2024 and ends January 15, 2025. We are waiting to hear if the expansion of Apple Health will continue. Stay tuned as we provide updates on the program in the near future!
