Cascade pacific action alliance (cpaa) is a Regional state designated accountable community of Health (ach) in Washington. Ach's are local partners with the state's healthier Washington initiative. Ach's aim to transform the Health system state wide: better Health, better care, and lower costs. Ach's are guided by the principle that Health is more than Health care, it's the total well-being of individuals, families, and communities. Cpaa brings together clinical care, community and social services, educational service districts, public Health efforts, community members, experts and organizations to address local Health challenges and implement regionally appropriate strategies to achieve improved Health and safety for all residents. In 2017, cpaa contracted with the Health care authority as the 7-county Regional ach under the medicaid transformation demonstration, a project approved through cms under the state of Washington section 1115 waiver.
