Power of Providers (POP) - DOH.wa.gov/POP

In 2021, the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) established the POP initiative to support health care professionals in many different roles across the state as trusted messengers in their communities. The scope of the program expanded this year from a focus on promoting COVID-19 vaccination to include activities in the following areas:

  • Expand patient access to Long COVID treatment through clinical education.
  • Support health care worker wellbeing and workforce retention.
  • Build capacity to ensure that all people in Washington have the same opportunities for health, wellbeing, and access to care.

POP has grown over the years to include partnership with thousands of individual health care professionals and hundreds of large and small health care organizations. The program is endorsed by our state’s top medical organizations; we hope you will join us today.
