Keeping Health Care Accessible and Affordable in King County

Share

In partnership with Ellit Groups 

At HealthPoint, our commitment to the community is simple: everyone deserves access to high-quality health care, regardless of language, insurance status, or ability to pay. Every day, we work to break down financial and structural barriers so our patients can get the care they need when they need it. 

One way we do this is through the 340B Drug Pricing Program, a federal program that allows community health centers like HealthPoint to purchase certain outpatient medications at significantly reduced costs from drug manufacturers. These savings are reinvested directly into patient care. This helps keep medications affordable while supporting critical services that patients rely on daily. 

HealthPoint’s Sliding Fee Scale Program is another key tool that adjusts the cost of clinical services based on a patient’s income and household size. This ensures patients’ access to health care without costs becoming an obstacle. While the 340B program focuses on medication affordability and the Sliding Fee Scale addresses the cost of care, both share the same goal: to reduce financial barriers so no one goes without health care. 

Sustaining this kind of community-based care takes strong partnerships and collective investment. Donations help ensure that HealthPoint never has to say no to a patient needing essential medical, dental, or mental health care. The support of philanthropic partners like Ellit Groups and other generous donors means HealthPoint can offer care to everyone, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay 

Do you or your company believe health care should be accessible to all?  

Together we can keep health care affordable, medications within reach, and doors open for thousands of patients across our region.
