There are many words we would all use to describe 2020. It was a year of disruption, a year of uncertainty, and a year of challenge. When I reflect back, the best word to describe NEW Health in 2020 is resiliency.
NEW Healths staffs willingness and resilience to continue to serve the community during this pandemic was inspiring. The rapid response and NEW Healths ability to adapt to the changing demands of COVID-19 would not have been possible without amazing employees.

NEW Health was formed when community members represented by the Southern Stevens County Healthcare Association identified the lack of primary healthcare services in the Tri-county area of Stevens, Ferry and Pend Oreille counties. The goal was to address the issues of accessibility of primary care, cost of care, coordination of care, quality of care, and lack of specific health services.
To achieve these ends, measures were taken to strategically place clinics into isolated, rural communities in the Tri-county region of northeast Washington. With this model, NEW Health has been able to deliver quality healthcare to people in rural communities where it was not available before.
