Reflection on 2024
A message from President and CEO Gary Renville
Core Programs
Our innovative programs connect vulnerable patients to head-to-toe care
Care Coordination
Care Coordination
Our care coordinators scheduled thousands of appointments, connecting low-income and uninsured patients to the specialty care they need—all at no cost to them. Our team ensures that all needed labs, tests and diagnostic imaging are complete and then works with the patient to schedule care with volunteer providers.
Premium Assistance
Premium Assistance
With funding from our community partners, Premium Assistance paid the monthly health insurance premiums for select low-income clients —ensuring they could access to appropriate health care before their medical need results in an emergency department visit or a more extensive problem.
DentistLink
DentistLink
We have teamed up with DentistLink—a private-public partnership funded by Arcora Foundation and Washington State Health Care Authority—to help people throughout Washington state find a dentist. DentistLink is a free, non-profit referral service that connects everyone to dental care, regardless of insurance status.
Pro Bono Counseling
Pro Bono Counseling
Our Pro Bono Counseling team provided accessible mental health support to individuals with financial constraints. Our statewide network of licensed therapists, psychologists, and counselors volunteer their time and expertise to provide clients with counseling services, tailored to their individual needs, at no cost to them.

Strike Down Barriers to Health Care
Our seventh annual fundraising event raised over $140,000.
We hosted our seventh annual Strike Down Barriers to Health Care fundraiser event on October 15, 2024, and greet so many of the friends we’ve worked with and partnered with over the years. With support from all our sponsors and individual donors, we met our goal and raised over $140,000! All funds raised support our care coordination program.
A highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Andrea Castell Access to Health Care Award, which recognizes an individual who works to improve health care access for all members of our community, to Julia Colson, the community leader who has been the vision and drive behind the creation of Seattle/King County Clinic.
