Navos announces the formation of the MultiCare Behavioral Health Foundation

September 1, 2019

On September 1, 2019 Navos announced the formation of the MultiCare Behavioral Health Foundation, the first of its kind in Washington to focus exclusively on raising critical funding to support people of all ages receiving behavioral health care treatment and services.  Funding will be secured to support and sustain Navos, MultiCare, and Greater Lakes hospitals and outpatient programs and services throughout the Pacific Northwest.  These include:

Forming this network has expanded the capacities of each of our organizations to deliver more coordinated, holistic are.  For our patients and their families, this means caring for the whole person with more specialized staff, and more resources to address their needs.  Our partnership creates a stronger community-based behavioral health system to offer care that reaches patients where they are most comfortable to receive services – not just in a hospital or behavioral health center, but in primary care clinics, schools, offices, and at home.

We know that the health of your community is important to you and we want to assure you that your donations to Navos will continue to be restricted to Navos and/or the program which you have designated it to support.

If you have any questions about the new foundation, please contact Alice Braverman, Chief Advancement Officer, at alice.braverman@navos.org or 206-933-7032.
