VANCOUVER – YWCA Clark County has been selected by PeaceHealth as a recipient of a $35,000 grant. PeaceHealth’s Women of Peace movement honors the work of three women nonprofit leaders partnering with PeaceHealth to advance health justice and respect for all. The PeaceHealth Columbia network recipient is Brittini Lasseigne, chief executive officer of YWCA Clark County.

YWCA of Clark County’s mission is to empower women and eliminate racism. The work led by Lasseigne serves individuals in Clark County who have experienced poverty, domestic violence, sexual assault and traumas due to systemic inequities. The work of the YWCA goes beyond services to survivors to include robust prevention programs for children, teens, and adults to create understanding and resilience for future generations while improving racial equity in Clark County.

“The team at the YWCA of Clark County work every day to ensure any person who is impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault have the support and resources they need,” said Liz Clark, community health director, PeaceHealth Columbia network. “Their work goes beyond direct services to victims of crime to include prevention programs, teen and young adult programs, equity advocacy, and child care. YWCA is an amazing partner, collaboratively working with us, and many other community based organizations to care for the Clark County community.”
