Washington has reached an agreement with the federal government to implement a five-year Medicaid demonstration waiver aimed at improving how we take care of individuals to better address local health priorities, deliver high-quality, cost-effective care that treats the whole person, and creates linkages between clinical and community-based services. A key component of this effort is transforming the Medicaid delivery system within each region to care for the whole person and use resources more wisely through the Accountable Communities of Health (ACH). As part of this transformation effort, each Accountable Community of Health is required to develop and implements up to eight projects.

The King County ACH and its partners are in the process of scheduling a first round of informational meetings for each project in an effort to understand interest from a broad range of partners and communities, share project-specific requirements, and discuss opportunities for involvement in the project planning.
