By educating the public, engaging decision makers, and mobilizing our community, we bring attention to the issues that matter most in our efforts to achieve our purpose.<\/p>\n<h3>Advocacy helps turn awareness into action.<\/h3>\n<p>Why advocacy matters:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Advocacy raises awareness: By contacting your legislators, you can let your voice be heard on issues that matter most to Encompass and community initiatives.<\/li>\n<li>Advocacy drives systematic change: Laws and policy shape our lives. Systems should support, not work against the best interests of children, families and our community.<\/li>\n<li>Advocacy empowers our community: Advocacy gives individuals and community a voice towards shaping their communities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Current Advocacy Initiatives:<\/h3>\n<p>Encompass is the sole provider of essential pediatric therapies and the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP) preschool in the Snoqualmie Valley, but our current state and Medicaid contracts are based on an unsustainable financial model. Right now, these contracts cover as little as 34% to 77% of our actual costs, forcing us to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in private donations just to bridge the gap for mandated services. We are asking the legislature to restructure Government Contracts, including ECEAP and Medicaid rates to reflect the <strong>full cost of care<\/strong> so that we can ensure every child in our community has the foundation to thrive for a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/encompassnw.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/002-0024-Legislative-Priorities-short.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-25830 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/encompassnw.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/icon-pdf.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"33\" height=\"38\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/encompassnw.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/002-0024-Legislative-Priorities-short.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Legislative Priorities Document<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Join us!<\/h3>\n<p>Your voice matters.
