Healthy Living Collaborative

In 2017, the Healthy Living Collaborative transitioned to become one of the programs at Southwest Washington Accountable Community of Health (SWACH). The partnership was designed to amplify HLC’s work in creating health equity and championing Community Health Workers (CHWs).

HLC ended in 2020 as a distinct program; this was a difficult decision and HLC’s priorities continue through other programs at SWACH. Our HealthConnect Hub and Equity and Collaborative Impact teams uphold the work originated by HLC, particularly related to health equity across Clark, Klickitat, and Skamania counties.

As an organization, we also continue to advocate for the development and support of our local community-based workforce. This workforce was essential to the work completed by HLC and remains crucial to the work we do today. We are dedicated to providing the resources, trainings, and professional development they need to be successful.

We are grateful to everyone who made HLC such a strong, vibrant part of our community. Your work is deeply appreciated.
