Project Access Northwest is thrilled to share its 2024–2026 Strategic Plan, crafted in collaboration with CL Strategic through a thoughtful and inclusive process in spring 2024. This plan reflects our unwavering dedication to ensuring equitable health care access for all across Washington state.
Through interviews, focus groups with staff and board members, and a collaborative retreat, four key focus areas emerged:
- Assessing and Refining Existing Programs—Ensuring current services address evolving community needs.
- Charting a Growth Path for Impact—Extending our reach to serve more individuals and communities.
- Advancing Advocacy and Systemic Impact – Tackling systemic barriers and championing health care accessibility.
- Ensuring Diverse and Sustainable Funding—Building a robust foundation for long-term success.
A landscape analysis highlighted critical factors such as political dynamics, changes in health care infrastructure, and the importance of data-driven strategies to guide implementation.

The Strategic Plan aligns with Project Access Northwest’s vision—a community where everyone can access necessary health care services—and our mission to connect vulnerable individuals to vital care. Each focus area includes clear goals, actionable strategies, and designated leads to ensure accountability and success.
