Our Family Wellness Navigation program is modeled after the Community Health Workers model in understanding that the health of our Pasifika communities is linked not just to accessing healthcare, but also in addressing the social determinants of health which includes access to housing, transportation, food, social belonging, employment & education. Our Family Wellness Navigators are equipped to support Pasifika families in navigating services offered in our NHPI networks and offered outside of our networks. They provide supports to combat housing insecurity, access to healthcare and other critical supports. Wellness Navigation also focuses on the cultural stewardship of our elders through providing elder social support services.
We seek to improve the lives of our Pacific Islander families through targeted social supports and culturally responsive programming. The program aims to decrease food insecurity, mitigate rental relief needs, and provide cultural belonging through resources provided in-language with dignity.
We are happy to announce that we are now able to offer free notary services for community members at our Pasifika Wellness Center in Federal Way. If you are in need of notary services, please call ahead of visiting or email us to set up an appointment time.
