What is the HealthConnect Hub?

SWACH’s HealthConnect Hub is a network powered by SWACH that connects people and families in Southwest Washington with the care and support they need—when and how they need it. Our team of Community-Based Workers helps guide people through services and advocates for health and social equity.

The Hub is part of a larger statewide network called the Community Care Hubs of Washington. This system brings together health and social service organizations to make it easier for people to find and access support. Our goal: stronger, healthier communities across the region.

Need Help?

Are you looking for help with health or social services? We’re here for you.

HealthConnect can connect you with a Community-Based Worker (CBW) who will support you in areas like:

  • Finding a primary care doctor

  • Managing chronic conditions

  • Getting access to food, housing, or transportation

Just fill out a short form to let us know what you need, and we’ll take it from there.

Our Programs

Southwest Washington Accountable Community of Health’s (SWACH) HealthConnect Hub leads efforts to help people achieve their health goals through tailored programs. Collaborative partnerships promote health equity and help sustain the overall goal of whole-person wellness.

  • The Self-Referral is a free program that connects you with a Community Health Worker who can help you access the resources and services you need to improve your health and quality of life. They can help you with things like establishing care with a doctor, finding support to manage medical conditions, work with you to secure housing, and much more.

  • HealthConnect Pathways is a care coordination model we use to support people based on their specific health and life needs. After a short risk assessment, a Community Health Worker will help you choose the “Pathways” that match your goals and challenges—like housing, health care, or food access—and work with you to complete them.

  • We offer training for Community Health Workers (CHWs) across Clark, Klickitat, and Skamania counties. Trainings cover:

    • Community engagement

    • Cultural awareness and cross-cultural skills

    • Trauma-informed care

    • Social determinants of health

    • Ethics, boundaries, and self-care

  • HealthConnect helps build a stronger health care system by supporting the development of the local workforce and promoting value-based care models.
