About the Washington Health Foundation
Since 1992, the mission of the Washington Health Foundation (WHF) has been to improve
health for the people of Washington state. Today, vision of WHF is to make Washington
the Healthiest State in the Nation. In recent years, WHF realigned its unique mix
of public affairs, policy, grantmaking and direct service, to help realize that
vision. Specifically, WHF launched an innovative campaign to build Healthy Systems
and promote Healthy Living across Washington. More than 1,000 businesses and organizations,
more than 350 schools and 35,000 individuals are currently participating in the
Healthiest State in the Nation Campagn-making it the largest civic engagement project
for health in state history. All the work of WHF is geared toward improving the
measures which determine our state's health ranking, and in engaging leaders, policymakers,
businesses and the public in creating big social change on this issue of health-ultimately,
to achieve the goal of making Washington the Healthiest State in the Nation.
