Hi! My name is Emily, born & raised here in Skagit County.  In the last 20 years, I have had the honor working as a Community Health Worker with the health department helping our community. I truly believe that we are all community health workers and resource navigators in our own ways. Searching for resources for yourselves or helping others with resource seeking, assisting them with completing forms, and being their voices in medical appointments, grocery stores, schools, and many other places.
