Community Health Care Programs are vital for ensuring everyone has access to quality health services, especially within local communities. At Community Health Plan of Washington (CHPW), we understand the importance of accessible, community-focused healthcare. We’re dedicated to providing comprehensive health coverage and resources that put you and your community at the center.
What is a Community Health Care Program?
A community health care program is designed to meet the unique health needs of a specific community. These programs prioritize preventative care, accessibility, and culturally competent services. They often focus on addressing health disparities and ensuring that all members of the community, regardless of their background or circumstances, can access the care they need. Community health programs thrive on local engagement, understanding the specific challenges and strengths within each neighborhood, and tailoring services accordingly.
CHPW embodies the spirit of a community health care program by focusing on the well-being of Washington residents. Founded by community health centers, our roots are deeply embedded in serving local populations and advocating for equitable healthcare access for all.

This expansion is a significant step towards a healthier community for all.

Benefits+ and Additional Resources: Enhancing Community Well-being
CHPW’s commitment to community health extends beyond basic medical coverage. Our Benefits+ program offers valuable extras to support the overall well-being of our members and their families. These benefits can include resources for vision, dental, transportation, and more, recognizing that health encompasses various aspects of life.
Furthermore, we provide resources and support to help our community navigate various challenges, such as accessing winter assistance programs.
