Community Health Network of Washington, comprised of 21 Community Health Centers, and the Immigrant and refugee Health Alliance partnered with Atrómitos, along with MCG Consulting, to conduct a landscape scan of the Washington State immigrant communities to inform Washington Health Benefit Exchange’s (WAHBE) future marketing, system design, and outreach efforts for the expanded health insurance coverage option for individuals without federally recognized immigration status.
