Better Health Starts Together.
Working towards better health for ALL in eastern Washington
About BHT
BHT tackles health inequities throughout eastern Washington, working with more than 100 organizations across Ferry, Stevens, Pend Oreille, Spokane, Lincoln. Adams and Whitman counties and the Reservations of the Kalispel Tribe of Indians, the Spokane Tribe of Indians, and the Colville Confederated Tribes to promote practical solutions that meet the needs of the people and communities we serve.
BHT was founded on the principle that when we step back and let the local community lead, we find the best and most sustainable solutions to some of our most complex problems. Over the past five years, BHT has had the privilege of governing our region’s 1115 Medicaid Waiver funds. We’ve invested more than $60 million dollars into our health care and social determinant of health delivery systems.
As an ACH, our primary role is to serve as a convening and supporting body for healthcare providers, community health workers, organizations addressing social determinants of health, and insurance providers as they come together to determine the best practices and methods for addressing whole person care in both the rural and urban communities in the BHT region. We advocate for policies centered on accountability, accessibility, and affordability. We disrupt the status quo by facilitating conversations and partnerships that level the playing field for community health throughout our region.
