Access to Health and Wellbeing

About the KCMC Access to Health and Wellbeing Workgroup

The KCMC Access to Health and Wellbeing Workgroup’s mission is to improve access to medical care and access to community engagement. This is done via transportation resources and services for residents in King County. We achieve this mission through education, coordination, and advocacy to address transportation gaps and barriers in accessing healthcare and community resources that address the varying social determinants of health.

Goals

  1. Foster dialogue with healthcare professionals and transportation providers.
  2. Create localized transportation resources for medical facilities to educate staff and patients on transportation options.
  3. Explore opportunities to improve medical transportation by coordinating and expanding existing networks.

Projects

The Access to Health and Wellbeing Workgroup is building off of the work of the previous Access to Healthcare Committee. Past projects and resources include:
  • Supporting the Care Mobility Rewards Program.
  • Ensuring healthcare perspectives are included in the RARET COVID-19 After Action Report.
  • Supporting situational awareness during the pandemic around transportation services.
  • Enhancing Committee engagement with diverse membership.
  • Continue harnessing One-Call One-Click buy-in using a healthcare perspective.
The Committee previously worked on numerous projects, like the KCMC's Inclusive Planning efforts and co-authoring many healthcare-related reports.
