Partnerships are at the
heart of PIHC’s work.

By focusing on partnerships, we work to get access, resources, power and the locus of control as close to the community as possible. Our goal is to foster relationships with clinical resources and local service organizations to improve community health through aligned investments and partnerships that address our communities’ most pressing needs.

Partnerships in Community Health Events & Resource Sharing

We believe highlighting opportunities for and by our community that promotes well-being and prevents illness, leverages the wealth of resources and expertise in our community, helping to ensure access to the connections needed for a healthier community.

PIHC Blog & Newsletters

On the blog, you’ll find our newsletter archive, event summaries and other updates. We send eight newsletters per year featuring local community resources, from our crowd sourced well-being resource hub www.livewellloccal.org, or research results from the annual PIHC Snohomish County Health and Well-being Monitor, and more. Learn more about newsletters and subscribe here.

Social Media

Our Facebook and Instagram pages are active. We post multiple times per week, featuring upcoming events and community resources. Follow us and stay up-to-date on health and well-being resources in our community!

Partnership Networks

The Equity Partnership of Snohomish County

The Equity Partnership was formed during the Covid-19 pandemic to improve equitable access to Covid-19 vaccines and related services for BIPOC communities. To help facilitate their work, the Equity Partnership created a LiveWellLocal.org custom community. The hub helped BIPOC communities to easily access culturally-appropriate Covid-19 vaccine resources. To learn more about LiveWellLocal.org and Custom Communities click here.

The Equity Partnership is a group of organizations who continue to meet monthly to advocate for underserved populations in Snohomish County, working on issues of access to care, education, and housing.

Partnerships in Community Health and Outreach

We believe engaging individuals where they live, work and play builds meaningful relationships and encouraging shared knowledge, better connections to resources and confidence in leading healthier lives. Learn more here.

Our education/outreach team draws from a variety of service lines across Providence Swedish North Puget Sound, each with their specific focus and area of interest.  Team members are advocates and trusted resources for science-based health information, messages, and campaigns on a variety of topics.

Service Learning

We are grateful to have UW Bothell Fieldwork Students as part of our team since our department launched in 2015. Students have helped to support many of our programs, and you can most often meet a student or two assisting at community outreach events. This partnership helps:

  • Provide hands on experience for undergraduate health studies majors
  • Foster relationships in community
  • Mentor the next generation of health educators and public health professionals
