Land acknowledgement
Together, we acknowledge, with humility, the indigenous peoples whose presence permeates the waterways, shorelines, valleys, and mountains of the Olympic region. The land where we are is the territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, in particular the Chimacum, Hoh, Makah, S’Klallam, Suquamish, and Quileute tribes on whose sacred land we live, work, and play.

Fostering a thriving Olympic region, one partnership at a time

Request for Proposals: Olympic Connect
Care Coordination Partners
Olympic Community of Health (OCH) invites organizations with an established foundation in community-based care coordination to partner through the Olympic Connect program. This unique opportunity is designed for health-serving partners throughout Clallam, Jefferson, and Kitsap counties who are already working to identify and address social needs.
Rather than funding the creation of new programs or paying for individual services, this one-time capacity-building opportunity provides the technological infrastructure, standardized workflows, and regional network support to enhance and scale existing community-based care coordination efforts. By connecting current community-based care coordination efforts into the Olympic Connect infrastructure, partners can collectively strengthen regional support networks, contribute to and capture regional data for future sustainability, and ensure no community member slips through the cracks.
​
Launched in October 2024, Olympic Connect is a service of Olympic Community of Health and operates as a Community Care Hub of Washington. As a community-centered entity, Olympic Connect supports a network of partners dedicated to addressing social needs. It centralizes administrative functions and infrastructure while fostering deep collaboration across a diverse range of partners.
​
Olympic Connect creates a coordinated, systemic, and data-driven approach to addressing social needs—such as job training, food assistance, transportation, health care, and childcare—in culturally appropriate and accessible ways.
