Who We Are

SWACH is a local non-profit organization dedicated to improving health in southwest Washington State. We will gather members of the community and other experts to tackle the biggest health problems facing local people. Through innovative partnerships and local resources, we are committed to creating permanent change and healthier future for everyone.

SWACH is one of the nine organizations promoting the healthier Washington initiative within the state within the state. These responsible health communities (ACH) are building a healthier Washington to meet the unique needs of the area. Learn more at the Washington Health Bureau website

SWACH is the nation designated ACH of the county such as Clark, Klickitat, Skamania. We are working together to support the members of Cowlitz Tribe and Yakama Nation. In addition, I am active in Wakiakum and Kauritz County through SWACH project 'Healthy · Living · Collaborative'.

We also evaluated our natural strengths and dislikes and then learned to support our own choice. If something meets our requirements, we choose that choice even if it is more difficult, more convenient, or not suitable for the current environment. We realized that we all said "We are just different" or "I understand our character is different". do not worry. (On the contrary, it may be necessary to postpone due to the difference in personality.This is bidirectional.)

We all have a wonderful idea who we are and who we want to be in the next 5, 10 or 30 years. If we want to be the people we imagine, we will grow in 30 years. And we must take a small step to become that person soon. "Small and simple things will be wonderful" (Alma 37: 6). I want to be called a person who respects and recognizes others and the experiences they are experiencing. For me this means that I talk with people, try to understand them, provide assistance where necessary, and recognize my weaknesses. Today, this may mean talking with a friend trying to solve the problem. Maybe that may help others to change tires, teach new things in my specialty areas, or make light snacks (not eat themselves) and let them know about unforgettable things. . That always means today is better than yesterday
