Neighborcare Health

Earlier this month, we were honored to welcome State Rep. Nicole Macri to our Pike Place Market clinic, where she received the Community Health Hero Award.

Neighborcare Health joined Seattle Roots Community Health and International Community Health Services (ICHS) in presenting the award on behalf of Community Health Network of Washington, the Washington Association for Community Health and community health centers statewide.

Neighborcare CFO and Interim CEO Janine Childs and ICHS CEO Kelli Nomura helped present the award to Rep. Macri, recognizing her leadership in strengthening Medicaid access and supporting protections for the 340B drug program.

As Washington prepares for the 2027 legislative session and changes to Medicaid, we’re grateful for the opportunity to recognize Rep. Macri’s work on issues that affect community health centers and the patients we serve across Washington.

September is National Recovery Month, a time to celebrate the strength of people in recovery and recognize the families, care teams and communities that support them along the way.

Recovery looks different for everyone. Whether someone is recovering from a substance use disorder, a mental health challenge or both, compassionate, accessible care and strong community connections can make a meaningful difference.

At Neighborcare Health, we believe everyone deserves support without judgment and the opportunity to build a healthier future.

This month, we celebrate every step forward and everyone who helps make recovery possible.

Healthy students learn better!

Neighborcare Health’s school-based health centers make it easier for students to get the care they need without missing much of the school day. Students can access services like check-ups, vaccinations, sports physicals, treatment for common illnesses and injuries, mental health counseling, dental care and more, depending on their school.

There is no cost for students. Health insurance is collected & billed, buy insurance is not required to receive care.

Register your student for Neighborcare Health’s school-based health program today so they’re ready to access care throughout the school year.

Welcome back, students and families!

As a new school year begins, Neighborcare Health is excited to welcome students back to school and support families throughout another year of learning, growth and connection.

Our school-based health teams are here to help students stay healthy, feel their best and get the care they need throughout the school year. From routine checkups and immunizations to mental health support and care when students are sick or injured, our teams make it easier for students to access care right at school.

Here’s to a healthy and successful year ahead!

Vaccines are an important part of keeping children and our communities healthy.

Neighborcare Health continues to follow Washington State Department of Health immunization guidelines. Our health care providers are here to support parents and caregivers in understanding which vaccines are recommended, why receiving them on time is important, and to answer questions you may have.

August is National Immunization Awareness Month!

Vaccines are an important part of preventive care, helping protect children and teens from serious, preventable diseases and reducing the spread of illness among families and communities.

As students head back to school, it’s a great time for families to make sure they’re up to date on recommended vaccinations. Neighborcare Health’s 16 School-Based Health Centers make it easier for students to access health care where they already spend their day, including recommended vaccinations.

This month, we’re also celebrating Neighborcare’s ongoing work to improve childhood immunization rates and vaccine equity. Teams across clinical care, operations, quality improvement and population health have worked together to better understand barriers to childhood vaccinations and develop ways to improve access for the communities we serve.

This work was recently recognized at the state level with a 2026 Immunization Champion award—a reflection of the collaboration and commitment happening across Neighborcare.
