Our Health and Wellness Program is designed to meet the diverse needs of our community through programs that support physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Each service reflects our mission to create a healthier, more equitable King County for all.
Health Screenings & Check-Ups
We provide free or low-cost health screenings to help residents stay informed about their well-being. Services may include blood pressure checks, glucose testing, cholesterol screening, dental and vision assessments, and other preventive care options. By offering accessible health monitoring, we help individuals detect concerns early and connect them with the appropriate healthcare providers for continued support.
Our community health events often include on-site medical professionals and local partners who offer valuable guidance on managing chronic conditions and improving overall health.
System Navigation & Referrals
Navigating the healthcare system can be overwhelming — that’s why we’re here to help. Our staff and volunteers provide personalized system navigation and referral assistance, connecting residents to trusted healthcare providers, mental health services, insurance programs, and social support networks.
We also assist with applications for public health programs, interpretation services, and coordination between families and local agencies, ensuring that every community member receives the care they deserve with dignity and understanding.
Maternal & Infant Support
Our Maternal and Infant Wellness Program supports parents and caregivers with essential items and educational resources that promote healthy early development. We distribute baby supplies, including diapers, formula, hygiene products, and clothing, while offering guidance on infant nutrition, breastfeeding, and parental wellness.
Workshops and support groups are also available, creating a nurturing environment where families can connect, learn, and share experiences that strengthen both parent and child well-being.
Nutrition & Food Access
Through our community food programs, we work to eliminate hunger and promote healthy eating habits. Living Well Kent partners with local farms, food banks, and volunteers to provide fresh produce, pantry staples, and culturally relevant meals to families in need.
We also host nutrition education workshops that teach participants how to prepare affordable, healthy meals, understand food labels, and incorporate balanced nutrition into daily life. Our commitment to food equity ensures that every household, regardless of income, has access to nourishing food choices.
Fitness & Wellness Activities
Physical activity is key to overall wellness. Living Well Kent offers exercise classes, walking groups, and wellness workshops for all ages and fitness levels. Activities include yoga, dance, aerobics, and outdoor recreation, designed to promote movement, reduce stress, and build community connection.
These programs not only support physical health but also foster mental clarity, social engagement, and emotional resilience, encouraging participants to lead active, balanced lifestyles.

Empowering the community through knowledge is central to our mission. Our health education sessions focus on preventive care, chronic disease management, mental health awareness, and holistic wellness practices.
