Group Health Cooperative provides medical coverage to more than 580,000 residents in Washington and North Idaho. The company also offers coverage through its subsidiaries, Group Health Options, Inc. and KPS Health Plans.

Group Health members not only receive coverage, but also help govern the company and decide the programs to best benefit them. Members can get involved by becoming a voting member (to vote on the board of trustees, CEO and make policy decisions), serve on the board of trustees, and attend board meetings.

Because of Group Health’s emphasis on the community’s health and well-being, the company sponsors various programs, such as youth soccer camps, group cycling programs, and the U.S. Figure Skating Championships.
