HIV Case Management – Our Case Managers work with clients to identify barriers and connect them with programs that assist with living healthier lives. Our Case Managers work with many other Lifelong departments as well as partner agencies
Chicken Soup Brigade – The goal of CSB is to improve the nutritional health of individuals living with chronic conditions and hunger. We believe that Food is Medicine and that nutrition is vital to one’s overall health.
Housing – Managing health issues is easier with somewhere safe and stable to live. Our Housing program administers several different programs that are targeted to clients’ unique circumstances.
EHIP – The Evergreen Health Insurance Program pays insurance premiums for individuals living with HIV who otherwise might not be able to afford it on their own. In addition to paying insurance premiums for people living with HIV, we also support HIV negative individuals by paying the premiums for clients enrolled in the PrEP DAP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Drug Assistance Program).
Dental – We believe that good oral health is essential if you are living with HIV and our Dental Program is there to ensure that individuals under a certain economic threshold can access these services.
LTSS – The primary goal of Long Term Support Services is to enable vulnerable adults to reside in the setting of their choice with services and supports that maximize independence, dignity, and quality of life. The program serves Medicaid eligible clients 18 years old and older living in East King County.
Prevention and HEYO– Our Prevention team provides free HIV testing, PrEP information and navigation, sexual health education, free condoms and works with youth to fight stigma around LGBTQ+ identities and living with HIV.
Volunteers - Lifelong has a long and proud volunteer tradition. The organization was founded by volunteers and without the compassionate care demonstrated daily by our hundreds of volunteers, we would not be able to provide the same depth of services to our clients.
History – Lifelong was formed in January 2001 through the merger of Chicken Soup Brigade (CSB) and Northwest AIDS Foundation (NWAF). For many years both organizations operated parallel to each other in providing services to people living with HIV. In 2014, Lifelong merged with Evergreen Wellness Advocates. As HIV has evolved, so have the needs of people living with the disease, and in turn, our services.
