More Patients Can Access the Care They Need

2026 Core Grant: $120,000 over three years for a Walla Walla patient assistance fund

Access to health care is not only about whether services exist. It is also about whether people can afford them, reach them, and feel supported when they need care.

Planned Parenthood of Greater Washington and North Idaho provides affordable reproductive and sexual health care across the region, including services that many patients rely on for preventive care, testing, birth control, education, and support.

A patient assistance fund helps reduce one of the most common barriers to care: cost. For some people, financial assistance can make the difference between delaying care and getting help when it is needed. That matters for individual health, family stability, and the well-being of the broader community.

In Walla Walla, this support helps ensure more people can access care without having to choose between health needs and other basic expenses.

Sherwood Trust is proud to support Planned Parenthood’s patient assistance fund in Walla Walla through a 2026 Core Grant.
