Community Partnerships

2,862 total CBO and CHC events to date in 2024 alone.

Our outreach team live and work in the regions they serve. They engage directly with members of their communities to help them understand their health insurance options and access care.

Their close partnerships with local CHCs and CBOs, and their connection to the places they call home, provide ongoing outreach opportunities.

In 2024 (and counting) our outreach team completed:

• 1,570 hours our outreach team spent in Community Health Centers.
• 1,292 CBO events, including health fairs, resource fairs, CBO visits, and community baby showers.
• 165 sponsored events with CHCs, CBOs and professional partners across the state.

Community Transformation Incentive Program

$3.25 million invested in total into Community Health Centers (CHCs) to support their work to date.

As a health plan built by CHCs to improve the health of their patients and communities, we have always been passionately committed to improving the health of communities that experience poorer health outcomes.

Previously known as The Equity Learning Collaborative and now the Community Transformation Incentive Program, this program is a collaboration with CHCs to explore ways to transform care by addressing health disparities and barriers to care.

CHPW, our parent organization Community Health Network of Washington (CHNW), our shared network of CHCs, and the Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA) carried out the program for four consecutive years.

In that time:

• $50,000 was provided to each participating CHC in up-front capacity building funds each year to support projects aimed at closing health disparities based on their specific local needs.
• 19 of our 21 CHCs participated in the initiative throughout the history of the program, 12 joined for all three years.
• 46 projects were carried out to remove barriers to care

Advocacy Efforts (Yield Funding in WA Legislature)

Community Health Network of Washington (CHNW), CHPW’s parent organization of CHCs, collectively advocates for access to health care in both Olympia and Washington, D.C.

CHNW allows Washington State CHCs to work together through public policy and advocacy efforts in both Olympia and Washington DC to ensure access to health care for every Washington resident.

This effort includes Save Health Care in Washington, the advocacy program for safety net health care CHCs deliver.

In 2023-2024, the State Legislature approved:

• $35.5 million – Apple Health and Homes (AHAH) and other rent support services funding through Washington’s Medicaid Quality Improvement Program (MQIP). CHPW supported the bill for Northstar Advocates’ two facilities for young adults leaving inpatient behavioral health treatment. Passed unanimously.
• $3.3 million – Governor’s Opportunity for Supportive Housing Program
• $3.7 million – Street Medicine Pilot Programs (King, Kitsap, Everett, Tacoma, Spokane)
• $7.5 million – Transitional and Long-term Housing supports for migrant and refugee communities (King, Tukwila)
• $2 million – Covenant Homeownership Program
• $25 million – Local Governments
