Tupu is a charming older man with a friendly smile and a sharp wit. Having lived in the Seattle area for decades, he became disabled after a work injury and his health declined as he found himself more and more isolated. After enrolling in ICHS’ senior care model, #PACE, he’s loving having the help he needs - a care team provides all the health services he needs, transportation to and from home, and a vibrant community at ICHS Legacy House. His health is improving and “I’m living the life” he says smiling. Watch and learn why Tupu loves ICHS PACE.

ICHS’ senior care model #PACE is special because, “it’s really about allowing older adults, during their fragile years, to continue to live at home rather than having to be cloistered away inside an institution,” explains Ron Chew in a July 2024 announcement.

ICHS has been awarded a major grant from Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSAgov), HHS to expand our #BehavioralHealth Services. We are proud to join community health centers nationwide in providing high-quality, affordable, and culturally competent behavioral health services. The grant will increase access to mental health and substance use disorder services for our patients. “[Health Resources and Services Administration]-funded health centers have a proven record of success in reaching underserved communities,” said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. “This funding expands their access to essential behavioral health services that will benefit entire communities.” This program, Behavioral Health Service Expansion (BHSE), is supported by the Human Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of an award totalling $600,000 with 12% financed with non-governmental sources.

Thank you Councilmember Rod Dembowski for visiting us! Our clinic leadership was pleased to host CM Dembowski at our Shoreline clinic location for a discussion on how we can continue advancing health equity in Shoreline and North King County. He also rolled up his sleeve and got his 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine at our in house clinic pharmacy! We are now offering walk-in COVID-19 vaccines to anyone ages 12 and older. Check our website for details. CM Dembowski is a long time supporter of ICHS having been instrumental in the fundraising campaign to build our Shoreline clinic in 2014, and our current campaign to build the Ron Chew Healthy Aging and Wellness Center in Seattle. We thank him for his staunch support of community health centers and for ICHS’ patients. #ValueCHCs #CommunityHealth #CommunityHealthcenter #Advocacy
