Greater Health Now

What Greater Health Now does

Greater Health Now (GHN) is an independent nonprofit organization headquartered in Kennewick, Washington, founded in 2015 and operating as one of nine Accountable Communities of Health (ACHs) designated under Washington State's Medicaid Transformation Project 2.0 (Section 1115 waiver). It is the largest ACH in Washington State by geographic area, serving approximately 810,000 residents across nine counties (Asotin, Benton, Columbia, Franklin, Garfield, Kittitas, Walla Walla, Whitman, Yakima) and the Yakama Nation. The organization's core function is to act as a neutral convener and coordinating body that connects healthcare delivery systems, community-based organizations, behavioral health providers, fire departments, and managed care organizations through a Social Care Network.

GHN's product portfolio centers on the Community Hub, a centralized closed-loop referral platform launched in mid-2024 that connects individuals to health-related social needs services and benefits via community health workers, online intake forms, and a phone referral line. Supporting core offerings include Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) programs operational at six fire department sites since 2022, the H.E.L.P. Maternal, Child, and Family Access Initiative (2025) deploying a Mobile Health Hub for rural communities, an Enhanced Primary Care (PCTM) pilot with six clinics to drive value-based care transition, free Health Insurance Navigation via certified Navigator status, Workforce Development programs (including Skillsline microlearning and Scrubs Camp), the Connect2Everyone community investment grant program, learning collaboratives and webinars, and an annual MIH Symposium. All services are provided free of charge to community members regardless of insurance or Medicaid eligibility.

GHN's revenue model is primarily government-funded through the Washington State Medicaid Transformation Project 2.0 waiver administered by the Health Care Authority, supplemented by managed care organization partnerships (Coordinated Care, WellPoint, Molina, Community Health Plan of Washington, United Healthcare), the Connect2Everyone grant distribution program, and free Health Insurance Navigation services delivered as a Washington Health Benefit Exchange Navigator organization. The organization employs 11-50 staff, is governed by a Board of Directors with representation from healthcare providers, MCOs, education, and tribal partners, and is led by CEO Sharon R. Brown, J.D., and COO Becky Betts, DNP, RN, CRRN.
