Dear Community,
We are less than two months away from the 2026 Food as Medicine For All - Livestream Conference, and we are honored to introduce another inspiring speaker who will challenge us to think differently about what it takes to build more effective, equitable systems of care.
Overcoming Barriers/Bridging Gaps at the Speed of Trust
HealthierHere, the Accountable Community of Health for King County, Washington, operates a community care hub that brings together community based organizations with deep, trusted relationships with underserved populations.
Through this network, HealthierHere connects people to the support they need, including case management and community care navigation to nutrition assistance, housing, behavioral health, and other social care services.
In this interactive session, we will explore the challenges of maintaining relationship driven care at the client level while operating at scale to demonstrate the need for systems transformation to make care delivery more effective.
The goal is not simply to connect people to services. It is to build systems that make meaningful connections possible at the speed of trust.
