YWCA Seattle | King | Snohomish is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. Through programs focused on housing stability, health and safety, and economic advancement, YWCA works alongside individuals and families to address immediate needs, overcome systemic barriers, and build lasting stability.

Health Access is a funded program within YWCA’s Health and Safety area of work, supporting individuals and families throughout King and Snohomish Counties in obtaining health coverage and connecting with care. Through public funding, grants, and community partnerships, the program helps bridge gaps between health systems and people experiencing homelessness, poverty, discrimination, and other barriers to services. Its services encompass health coverage education and enrollment assistance, community outreach, advocacy, and connections to medical, dental, vision, and mental health care.

Health Access recognizes that access to care is closely connected to safe housing, economic security, and overall well-being. The program emphasizes respectful, culturally responsive, trauma informed support that centers participants’ priorities and strengthens their ability to make informed decisions about their health. Collaboration with health care providers, community organizations, and other YWCA programs supports continuity of care and more equitable access to resources.

YWCA’s commitment to racial and social justice guides this work. Health Access seeks to address the ways racism, sexism, poverty, and other forms of oppression shape health care experiences and outcomes, advancing YWCA’s vision of a healthy community transformed by racial and gender equity.
