The Somali Health Board is a collective of Somali health professionals and volunteers dedicated to addressing health disparities faced by new immigrants and refugees in King County, Washington. With a vision for a thriving Somali community, they focus on initiatives that promote chronic disease education, behavioral health, and overall wellness through community-based programs.

Emphasizing the importance of representation and advocacy, the Somali Health Board collaborates with organizations such as Kaiser Permanente and the University of Washington to conduct community-based participatory research. Their comprehensive approach includes initiatives like the Whole Child Initiative and the Community-based Holistic Wellness Program, all aimed at enhancing health outcomes and reducing disparities within the community.
