Our advocacy aims to protect and expand the health care safety net for our state’s most vulnerable population. The safety net is essential for many people to live healthy, productive lives.
CHC Overview
Save Health Care in Washington is made up of patients, healthcare staff, community members, and anyone who wants to help make sure everyone has access to quality, affordable health care.
We advocate for CHCs with the Legislature and participate in coalitions that aim to protect, expand, and allow equitable access to safety net programs.

“As a dental provider, I see the impact we have to help people get out of pain and stay out of the ER. These services also help patients prevent from having to call out of work and to get and maintain employment. These services are Vital for all society.”
