Refugees get health care boost from PDA grant to ICHS

September 4, 2015 By Northwest Asian Weekly

ICHS community advocates who will assist underserved patients and groups on the Eastside (from left): Miran Hothi, Duby Monteros, Alexandra Poseukova, and Blanca Lujan Westrich.

Eastside patients who are traditionally underserved when it comes to health care, including low income, non-English speaking, and uninsured and underinsured immigrants and refugees, will receive help thanks to a grant awarded recently to International Community Health Services (ICHS).
The ICHS Bellevue Community Advocacy Program Expansion (B-CAPE) program will benefit from a $208,638 grant from Pacific Hospital Preservation & Development Authority (Pacific Hospital PDA).
The grant provides additional resources to the program to help reduce health disparities and improve access to health care for low-income, limited English proficient (LEP), and uninsured/underinsured Bellevue-area immigrants and refugees.
The grant will allow the hiring of Community Advocates who will provide group-level and one-on-one community-based outreach, health education, patient navigation services, and referrals to target populations on the Eastside, through the B-CAPE program. (end)
