WHO, WHAT, WHY: About this Project

HealthierHere is working with others to find ways to make health services better for people in King County.

To do this, we are reaching out to community to learn what it is like for you to get health care. We want to know how people get care now, what keeps them from getting the care they need, and what could make it better.
