Washington Coalition on
Medicaid Outreach (WCOMO)
WCOMO is a statewide coalition of community-based and local government organizations and state agencies like DSHS and the Health Care Authority. The coalition was formed around Medicaid outreach but has expanded to include many facets of health care access for the underserved and uninsured.
WCOMO Meetings
Meetings are held quarterly at locations across the state. These meetings provide a unique opportunity to talk with the state agencies who administer the health care programs and to network with others about common issues and strategies to promote health care access.
WithinReach facilitates WCOMO meetings and has created this page to post meeting agendas, handouts and power points that presenters make available.
