North Sound ACH

North Sound Accountable Community of Health

Health happens in communities, in the spaces where we come together, live, and work; where children go to school and play; and where we seek care and services.

North Sound Accountable Community of Health (North Sound ACH) is an independent nonprofit organization committed to building vibrant and healthy communities, places where all can live full lives. We convene diverse individuals and organizations to foster meaningful community-led collaboration leading to equitable well-being, fewer people suffering and struggling and more people thriving.
