About PIHC.

At Providence Institute for a Healthier Community (PIHC) our vision is: healthier people, healthier relationships, healthier communities, created together

WHO WE ARE

Being healthy is about so much more than physical health—it’s about mental and emotional health, strong relationships, safe places to live, healthy food, connected communities and good jobs. Services that address these dimensions of wellbeing are often siloed and difficult to find, making it hard for people to work towards whole health.

WE ARE THE CONNECTORS

We serve as a community hub — bridging the gap between traditional medical care and whole health. We make it easier for community members to find and use the resources they need to be healthy.

WE DO THIS BY

  • Reaching out and listening to our community, letting them define what health and happiness really mean.

  • Building relationships with local partners who are dedicated to protecting and improving the health of our diverse communities.

  • Connecting people directly to trusted local resources so they can take action and improve their heath and well-being.

What people are saying about Edge of Amazing.

 

“I have participated in the Edge of Amazing every year since its inception and have gained new insights each year; insights that have informed and enhanced collaborative efforts with many, many partners to make Snohomish County a safer, healthier community for everyone who lives here.”

Mary Jane (MJ) Brell Vujovic
Director, Snohomish County Human Services

“I view Edge of Amazing as strengthening our community's efforts to affect positive change; by viewing health as underpinned by a set of interwoven factors rather than a single data point, service providers throughout our region are better equipped to align resources and better support the individual. Every year, this event reminds me of how powerful Snohomish County truly is.”
