What is the Health Home Program?
The Health Home Program is a free service in Washington State that helps people with Medicaid manage serious or long-term health needs. It's not a place, it’s a support program where a Care Coordinator helps you create a personal health plan, stay on top of appointments and medications, and connect with community resources like housing, food, or transportation. The goal is to make your care easier and help you live a healthier life.

Partnership with Bridging Care
At Bridging Care, we work in partnership with the Washington State Health Care Authority and participating health insurance providers to deliver the Health Home Program to eligible individuals. The state makes the program possible, insurance partners help fund it, and our role is to walk alongside you, coordinating care, connecting resources, and simplifying the process so you receive the support you need. Together, we form a team with one shared goal: helping you live a healthier, safer, and more supported life.

John
Bridging Care Member
Meet “John”, a seasonal worker who returned to Seattle after organ failure left him unable to work or maintain stable housing. His employer provided a hotel for a month, but he still struggled to meet basic needs. Bridging Care connected him with a DSHS social worker, helping him get same‒day SNAP benefits and enroll in the Health Homes program for ongoing food and cash assistance.
Sarah
Bridging Care Member
Meet “Sarah”, who was falling behind on bills after a rent increase in January. Our Care Coordinator helped her apply for County Rental Assistance, and she was approved for four months of rent support. This gave her the breathing room to catch up on other expenses and regain financial stability.
