HEALWA helps Washington state healthcare providers stay up to date in their fields by providing online access to a library of toolkits, databases, eBooks, and eJournals. Launched in 2007, HEALWA is managed by the University of Washington in partnership with the state Department of Health and other community organizations.
From acupuncturists to veterinarians, access is available to 26 professions. Eligibility is set in state law and part of annual licensing fees for those professions. (See FAQs about health profession fees on the state DOH website.)
How can eligible professionals access HEALWA?
To begin or continue accessing medical journals and databases through HEALWA, do not request an account here on WA Portal. Instead use the steps for getting started on the HEALWA site.
Interested but your profession is not listed?
HEALWA recommends you contact your Washington state professional organization and ask that their governmental relations committee lobby the Washington State Legislature for your group to be included.
