International Community Health Services (ICHS) Foundation hosted a community conversation The Future of Health Equity on June 18, 2024 in Seattle. The convening brought together community health advocates to learn, network, and catalyze change in King County.
“Preventing disease starts with clean air, safe neighborhoods, access to fresh food, affordable housing, and reliable transportation,” said ICHS CEO Kelli Nomura, who opened the discussion by sharing about ICHS’s work and collaborations in the community. “Our organization is but one piece of the community health center and social services ecosystem responding to the needs of King County’s most vulnerable people.”
The panel examined current challenges that patients and communities in King County face within the healthcare system. The event amplified the innovative strategies that community health centers like ICHS are employing to care for marginalized communities.
