At one time or another, we all need someone to lean on. If….
your family needs food
you need help navigating social services
you have lost your home
you need help with an electric bill during the cold winter months
you’re a survivor of abuse
you are a hard worker seeking training for a new job, or
you just need someone to help you find a way to a better life.
For community members who need a hand up or a fresh start – WAGAP is here.

PATHWAYS HEALTH CONNECT
Pathways Health Connect is a free program that helps you connect to the services and support you need to be healthy. Maintaining good health can be difficult, especially when living within limited means and facing additional challenges.
The Pathways care coordination program connects adults, 18 and over, and their families, to a Community Health Worker (CHW). A CHW will give you personal support to help you evaluate what you need. They can advocate for your health needs with insurance companies, doctors, and other providers. They can also help with broader needs that affect your health, like housing, food, transportation, and much more.
