And we are committed to addressing historical patterns of racism in health care and inequities in services by listening to and responding to the needs of the Black Community. 

This position will be in alignment with the County’s policy of being anti-racist and accountable to the Black, Brown, Indigenous and People of Color. 
We provide tangible assistance to King County residents. Our work is impactful because we're removing barriers so they can access services and enrolling them into health insurance, basic food, ORCA lift and other services.

*Commitment To Equity and Social Justice*
Named after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the most influential civil rights leaders in our nation's history, King County is a vibrant international community with residents that represent countries from around the world. It is a region with increasing diversity that cherishes the traditions of many cultures.
 
The county government has a deep commitment to equity and social justice and advancing practices, strategies, and policies that promote fairness, justice, and opportunity for all – in our workplaces and our communities. With this commitment, King County has adopted a pro-equity agenda to advance regional change and ensure that residents from all communities are incorporated into our emergency planning and public outreach efforts.
 
We recognize that structural racism consists of principles and practices that cause and justify an inequitable distribution of rights, opportunities, and experiences across racial groups. Since declaring Racism is a Public Health Crisis in June 2020, King County and Public Health committed to being intentionally anti-racist and accountable to Black, Indigenous and People of Color communities.
