Health improvement happens when we work together.​

Sometimes the most valuable contribution is simply sharing what you're hearing in your work or your community. If you serve people facing food insecurity, transportation barriers, or mental health challenges, or digital access inequities, your insights help us understand what's really needed.

What is the CHI and how is it different than
other organizations?
What makes us different: The Coalition for Health Improvement (CHI) acts as the connector and coordinator for community health and wellbeing work in Grant County. We do not provide any direct services, but rather, we bring people together around pressing issues, support collaborative action, help build capacity, and connect partners across Grant County and the broader North Central Washington Region.
How can I get involved?
Joining the Network and becoming a partner: Whether you are representing an organization or are a community member, anyone who desires to help improve health and wellbeing outcomes in Grant County is welcome to be a member of the CHI. We host quarterly in-person gatherings, and facilitate other workgroups throughout the year.

As a member of the network, you will receive updates and information on meetings, events, the CHIP, legislation, and other work happening in our network and the broader Thriving Together NCW network.
