Focus on Employees

Get Healthy and Stay Healthy

Most of you know about our benefits, but many of you don’t know about the benefits within King County’s benefit programs. These are provided free of charge to help you and your family be better consumers of health care. King County offers you tools, information and support so you can make well-informed decisions about your health and your health-care dollars.

Helping our employees become better consumers of health care services is our best long-term solution to rising costs. A key part of this process is to build programs that effectively target chronic diseases and provide our employees with the ability to choose effective, high quality physician specialists.

There are all kinds of scenarios that King County’s benefit programs are designed to address; but to make them work, you’ve got to give them a try. They are all voluntary, free of charge and, of course, confidential. Let’s take a look at some of the tools King County offers.
