Founding stage: not yet open to patients
Quality health care for every neighbor.
Ihsan Health is working to build a community health center in King County, starting in the east and south, so that every person can see a doctor, afford care, and stay healthy, whatever their color, religion, ethnicity, background, or ability to pay.
Our mission
To increase access to quality, affordable, culturally responsive health care for everyone in our community, and to help people understand and use the coverage and services available to them.
Our vision
A Washington where every person receives dignified, high-quality care, regardless of background or ability to pay.
The care we plan to offer
Our goal is to become a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) or FQHC look-alike: a nonprofit community clinic that welcomes everyone, charges fees based on what a family can afford, and is guided by a board that includes the patients it serves. We plan to bring care and help together in one place.
Care for the whole person
- Primary medical care
- Pharmacy
- Laboratory services
- Dental care
- Nutrition counseling
- Mental health care
- Chronic disease management
Help getting and using care
- Understanding and enrolling in health coverage, including Apple Health
- Connecting people to the services they need
- Reducing barriers such as cost, paperwork, language, and transportation
Where we begin: east and south King County. Over time, we hope to grow so that more communities across Washington can count on the same care.
Why this matters now
For most families, health insurance is what makes a doctor visit affordable. When people lose it, they often put off care until a small problem becomes an emergency. That is harder on families, and it affects everyone, because emergency rooms fill up and costs rise for the whole community.
Washington's Medicaid program, called Apple Health, covers nearly 2 million people. Changes to federal Medicaid funding and rules are now taking effect. Beginning in 2027, many adults will need to meet new requirements and renew their coverage more often. State officials estimate that around 200,000 people in Washington could lose their coverage by the end of 2027.
The people most at risk are often those who already face the biggest barriers to care. When they lose coverage, the health gap between neighborhoods grows, and a healthier community depends on closing it.
Where we are today
Ihsan Health is in its founding stage. We are not yet providing clinical services, and we do not hold health center designation or licensure. The services described on this page are our goals, not current offerings. Please do not send personal health information through this site. If you need care or help with coverage now, contact your current provider, visit Washington Healthplanfinder, or call 211 for local resources.
