The shared service model provides language access services to King County and seven local health jurisdictions.

The Language Access Manager works closely with OECP staff and divisions, in addition to other local health jurisdictions, to advance strategies centered on communities and aligned with Public Health’s new Strategic Plan [ kingcounty.gov/health/strategicplan ]. The Strategic Plan aims to fully integrate language access and health literacy into the department’s work. The Language Access Manager is a member of the Office of Equity and Community Partnerships and will report to the Director of the Office.

*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.
