Health and chemical dependency
Your donation to United Way of King County helps the most vulnerable people in our community get affordable dental and medical care.
Community issues
- One in six people lack health insurance.
- 14% of second and third graders have untreated tooth decay, and more than 50% don't have protective sealants on their teeth.
- An estimated 125,500 adults have chemical dependencies.
- An estimated 41,324 adults have both mental disorders and chemical dependencies combined.
We help:
- Give people access to affordable medical and dental care
- Provide treatment for people at high risk of homelessness due to mental illness, chemical dependency and disabling medical conditions
- Make supportive housing with physical health, mental health and chemical dependency services available
