UW President Ana Mari Cauce, King County Executive Dow Constantine, and members of the Metropolitan King County Council say they have a 10-year agreement that will ensure Harborview Medical Center expands its system of care to make it more accessible in community-based clinics across King County.

The long-term agreement is set to increase both Harborview's focus on prevention and its reach to more clinics. The agreement also lays out directions concerning how Harborview will achieve its mission as a public hospital by serving those with the most need, including those without health insurance or the ability to pay for health care. The proposed agreement has the potential for an additional 20-year extension beyond the initial 10 years.

After Harborview's Board of Trustees unanimously approved the agreement last week, it is now set to go before the County Council and the UW's Board of Regents for final approval.
