CHILDREN’S HEALTH
Great news! Advocacy by NoHLA and the Children's Alliance led the Governor to extend her December moratorium on terminating Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) medical coverage of citizen children who are having difficulty documenting their citizenship (see Governor’s letter). The moratorium gives families time to obtain their documents while the kids remain insured through the state-funded Cover All Kids program.
Your support enables NoHLA
to work toward a better
health care system.
Northwest Health Law Advocates (NoHLA) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to achieve a seamless and equitable health care system, in which individuals are assured of basic rights and protections, and continuity of care, regardless of who they are and the type of health insurance they have.
Our work focuses on issues of concern to low-income individuals and families, particularly in Washington State. Please see NoHLA Advocacy for information about NoHLA's recent work.
NoHLA's work involves:
- Legal consultation to attorneys and advocates on public health insurance programs
- Legal and policy analysis
- Training and community education
- Legislative and administrative advocacy

"I am a Medicaid and Medicare recipient and a grassroots activist and leader. NoHLA represents people who otherwise would not have a voice in the legislative and rule making process. NoHLA is a leader in the fight for a better health care system, which is so desperately needed."
