Welcome to Access and Outreach

The mission of Access & Outreach is to ensure that the most vulnerable in King County have access to essential services.  We do this by achieving system wide changes that improve access to health care.  Assure access by providing trainings and technical support to our community partners.  And provide application assistance to the most vulnerable in King County at our various outreach locations.

One example of how we improve access is through our Access to Baby and Child Dentistry Program (ABCD). ABCD focuses on preventive and restorative dental care for Medicaid-eligible children from birth through age five with an emphasis on the first dental visit by age one.

In addition to the ABCD program, Access & Outreach includes the following:  PeoplePoint, Apple Health for Kids, Basic Food Program, Community Health Access Program (CHAP), the Washington State Breast Cervical and Colon Program (BCCHP) and the First Friday Forum.  

	Children 18 years of age and under
	19 years and older (Family Medical) and Washington Health Program
	65 years of age and over, or disabled on Medicare (Medicare Savings Program)
	Pregnancy Medical Program
	Women's health exams with mammogram and Pap test
