TACOMA, Wash. — MultiCare Health System’s Community Partnership Fund has awarded $800,000 to nonprofit organizations throughout Washington state focused on addressing the most critical health needs in our communities. The fund supports organizations in the Puget Sound, Inland Northwest and Yakima Valley regions that provide care, services and resources that strengthen the health and well-being of communities.
Selected organizations and their programs support the most pressing health needs in MultiCare’s hospital service areas, as identified in the MultiCare Community Health Needs Assessment. These assessments, and accompanying implementation strategies, represent MultiCare’s commitment to promoting health and healing in the community.
“Our communities have a wealth of organizations that are deeply committed to addressing health equity, access to care and the underlying factors that have a tremendous impact on a person’s overall health,” said Marce Edwards Olson, vice president and chief marketing and communications office for MultiCare. “The Community Partnership Fund focuses on building partnerships to address these fundamental needs, leading to healthier and more vibrant communities.”
MultiCare’s Community Partnership Fund has given more than $6 million to hundreds of organizations since its inception in 2014. To learn more about the Community Partnership Fund and see a list of this year’s recipients, visit multicare.org/communitypartnership.
