About

Own Your Health is a campaign to empower consumers to become active participants in their own health and health care. Our goal is to give you the tools and information you need to maintain and improve your health and to make sure you are getting quality health care. Own Your Health provides trustworthy information, helpful tips and handy tools to help you take control of your health and health care. There are lots of ways for you to get involved by sharing your ideas, suggestions and experiences.

Own Your Health is presented by the Puget Sound Health Alliance, a nonprofit organization where the people who give, get and pay for health care work together to improve health care quality and value in a five-county region in Washington State: King, Kitsap, Pierce, Snohomish and Thurston Counties.

The Alliance is an Aligning Forces for Quality (AF4Q) Community. AF4Q is the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s signature effort to improve the overall quality of health care in the United States. Own Your Health is part the AF4Q effort to help consumers become more active in their own health care.

Some of the content of Own Your Health is based on materials developed by the nonprofit American Institutes for Research (AIR). The goal of AIR is to use the best science available to bring the most effective ideas and approaches to enhancing everyday life.
