The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living awarded Comagine Health a $1.199 million cooperative agreement on August 1, 2026, under the Empowering Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities through Chronic Disease Self-Management Education Programs (CFDA 93.734) to develop and operate the Wellness Integrated Network of Washington (WINWA) and deliver evidence-based chronic disease self-management education and support programs for people with behavioral health conditions.

Over the three-year performance period through July 31, 2029, Comagine Health and nine statewide partners will expand delivery of five evidence-based programs—Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP), Chronic Pain Self-Management Program (CPSMP), Diabetes Self-Management Program (DSMP), EnhanceFitness, and PEARLS—to reach counties and older adults and people with disabilities experiencing depression, new chronic disease diagnosis, and housing instability. Training and program delivery in-person and virtual formats will launch within three months of award.

Key deliverables include establishing a statewide steering committee and coordinated CDSME network; completing a business plan for WINWA sustainability; implementing a data integration system incorporating ODES and WellWare platforms with behavioral health referral workflows; expanding program access to all Washington counties by August 2028; and developing 20 web-accessible resources including marketing toolkit and capstone project toolkit for partner replication. Enrollment targets across programs total 955 participants in year one, 1,910 in year two, and 3,820 in year three, with program completion rates of approximately 70 percent. Work is performed statewide in Washington.
