Health Care Workforce

Integrated care team.

We support expanding, diversifying and training the health care workforce across Idaho, Oregon, Utah or Washington to reduce regional shortages of behavioral health providers.

Keeping you informed

Our 2026 funding opportunities for this program have closed.

We’re currently evaluating the progress, insights and impact achieved in collaboration with our partners throughout our 2022-2026 funding strategy. Building on those learnings and the perspectives shared by grant partners, community organizations and other stakeholders, we’re currently developing our next multi-year strategy which we expect to share in early 2027. That strategy will help inform future funding opportunities and how we invest in the communities we serve. We remain committed to listening, learning and meeting our partners where they are. 

To stay informed, we invite you to subscribe to our newsletter or follow us on LinkedIn. We appreciate your interest! If you have questions or would like to connect with a program officer, please reach out through our Contact Us page.

Unpaid caregivers are an essential part of our health ecosystem. One in six adults are unpaid caregivers, aiding friends or family members with a health condition. These caregivers are experiencing their own health crisis - struggling with a higher rate of anxiety (+34%), major depression (+37%), obesity (+50%) and hypertension (+64%) compared to the general population.

Outcomes We're Measuring

  • Increase access to behavioral health programs and services in professional shortage areas.
