To Our Valued Community, 

With the passage of the “One Big Bill”, we want to take a moment to acknowledge the deep impacts to the health, stability, and dignity of individuals and families locally and across the nation. 

Community health centers are the largest primary care network in the country, serving 1 in 10 Americans and 1 in 6 Washingtonians. We are legally required to serve everyone, regardless of ability to pay. The massive cuts to Medicaid will make it significantly harder for millions of people to access the health care and support they need to live their healthiest lives. 

In this moment, we want to reaffirm our commitment to you. Neighborcare Health remains unwavering in our mission, and our relationships are what will carry us in this moment. While the road ahead may be more challenging, we are committed to working in partnership to ensure that every person receives the high-quality, respectful, whole-person care that they deserve. 

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. We are in this together. 

With resolve and compassion, 

Rashad A. Collins, CEO
