Health Care

Ten years ago, the Cowlitz County Health Department published Project 2020: The Health of Cowlitz County, a report that examined the community’s health from a variety of perspectives. That was followed by the Cowlitz County Report Card, which rated various agencies and organizations in terms of how well community health needs were being met.

Since opening in November 2005, the Cowlitz Free Medical Clinic has touched thousands of lives and brought much-needed health care to some of the area’s most vulnerable residents.
