First Friday Forums

We provide information, updates, training, and advocacy to community-based organizations, health care providers, outreach workers, Navigators, and others committed to supporting vulnerable and underserved populations. Topics include, but are not limited to, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Apple Health and Medicaid programs, publicly sponsored assistance programs, and King County ORCA LIFT & Subsidized Annual Pass programs. Participants will gain practical knowledge of these programs and resources, including how to navigate application and enrollment processes, address health care coverage and enrollment challenges, and identify resources that support improved access to essential health care and other supported services.
