Special Projects
The Health Equity Improvement Plan (HEIP) the Health Equity Learning Cohort (2.0), and Pilot Projects outcomes were the key vehicles for testing and refining health equity principles in a real-world setting. The HEIP framework connects all the elements of the plan, the cohort, and the pilots under a unified purpose.
The purpose of this implementation guide is to provide community organizations,educators, faith groups, healthcare providers, and policymakers with a structured,actionable framework for adopting and scaling Community-Initiated Care (CIC).
Community-Initiated Care (CIC) has emerged as a promising framework for empowering communities to take an active role in health support.
This plan reflects the insights, strengths, and shared learnings from two parallel processes: quarterly convenings with Tribal health leaders and the Health Equity Cohort, a group of community partners who worked together for seven months to identify systemic gaps, highlight community strengths, and establish a shared framework for action.
In 2025, CHOICE conducted an assessment to measure well-being in central western Washington. We asked community members across the region to take a survey to help us understand how the conditions where we live, work, and play impact our well-being. The survey is now complete.
