The newly formed Apple Health Advisory Council is looking for people who receive intellectual and developmental disability or long-term care services from the state. Apple Health coverage includes home and community-based services, including personal care and residential services as well as primary care and emergency visits. 

Your feedback could improve the program for nearly 2 million Washington residents.
