Grant Partnership with North Olympic Healthcare Network

To help create more resources for behavioral health care in Washington, the United Health Foundation established a $3.3 million grant partnership with the North Olympic Healthcare Network (NOHN) - a federally qualified health center serving Clallam County. Over three years, the grant will help deploy community- and school-based interventions to extend care for the health and well-being of children and their families in the Port Angeles area.

'We are excited by this opportunity to leverage community collaborations and innovative mobile delivery models to bring much needed behavioral and primary care services to those in greatest need, wherever they are. This impactful grant funding and partnership with the United Health Foundation will help us address critical behavioral health needs in our students earlier and with fewer barriers, while also supporting community outreach to adults who are struggling with behavioral and chronic medical conditions.' - Dr. Michael Maxwell, CEO, North Olympic Healthcare Network.
