| About Project Access: Overview |
|
Project Access is a regional network of physicians and hospitals collaborating to provide specialty-level, universal, on-demand health care access for medically underserved citizens living at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. With more than 80% of Spokane physicians pledging support of Project Access outreach, it is the care and dedication of our physician and health care volunteers that make this goal possible.

Project Access coordinates service donated from physicians, increasing efficiency at the physician’s practice by reducing repeat patients and aggregating charity care. These donated services include:
- Physician office visits
- Surgeries and treatments (both inpatient and outpatient)
- Laboratory and radiology services
- Hospital care
- Durable medical equipment (such as wheelchairs and crutches)
- Interpretation services
- Transportation to patient appointments
- Low-cost prescription medications.
