Patient Stories
Behind every appointment and procedure made possible through Project Access Northwest is a neighbor who faced serious medical needs without the means to pay for care, and found a path forward through the generosity of our volunteer providers and community partners. We share these stories with permission and gratitude, to honor the people behind the numbers and to show what's possible when a community decides everyone deserves access to care.
Note: In some cases, the patient's name has been changed to protect privacy, but consent was provided to share their story.

Health care isn’t one appointment… It’s continuity. It’s having doctors who know you and can keep watching when things are uncertain.
