Celebrating Clients and Honoring our History

The holidays are a time of reflection at Lifelong. In this video, our CEO, Erica Sessle, shares the journey we have taken from the beginnings of the HIV crisis to our most current work addressing the formidable health challenges facing our diverse community. 


Who We Are

LIFELONG HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ORGANIZATION THAT STANDS UP FOR COMMUNITIES FACING Barriers to Living a healthy life.

Everyone deserves the chance to thrive, but that vision is out of reach for far too many people.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

We at Lifelong acknowledge that we are on the ancestral and traditional lands first dwelt upon by the Samish Indian Nation, the Duwamish People, the Tulalip People, the Coast Salish People, and other Indigenous individuals and communities.

We honor with gratitude the land itself, and those people and tribes that are here now and those who came before us. In offering this land acknowledgement, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty, history and experiences.
