About Native Project

Native Project is a federally qualified health center (FQHC) located in Spokane, WA.

The center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, commercial insurance, and uninsured patients.

Mental health + behavioral health context

Black adults are about half as likely to receive mental-health treatment as white adults despite similar prevalence rates per SAMHSA, with cost and provider trust as the largest documented barriers. FQHC behavioral-health services like those at Native Project use sliding-scale fees that make care accessible regardless of insurance status. If you're in crisis, dial or text 988 for the 24/7 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Substance use treatment context

Black overdose deaths rose roughly 40% from 2019 to 2022 per CDC NVSS, the fastest-rising drug-overdose mortality of any U.S. demographic. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, is the evidence-based standard of care. FQHC-based MAT addresses access barriers that disproportionately affect Black patients (DEA-waivered prescribers are more concentrated in low-income areas via FQHCs).

Coverage + benefits in Washington

Native Project accepts Washington Medicaid. FQHC certified application counselors typically cross-enroll Medicaid + WIC + SNAP at the same visit. Anyone enrolled in Medicaid is automatically income-eligible for WIC under federal adjunctive eligibility (7 CFR 246.7).
