GET HEALTHY IDAHO

Forty-three percent of households in Idaho don’t earn enough to afford the essentials of housing, childcare, food, transportation, and health care. Access to health care is a basic need, and when community members cannot afford this necessity, it threatens their educational goals, employment, and so much more.

In 2022, United Way of Southeastern Idaho received a four-year, up to $400,000 grant from Idaho Department of Health and Welfare’s Get Healthy Idaho initiative. During the first year of this grant, the United Way led a health collaborative to create and execute a community action plan to address the root causes of health disparities.
