    The Seattle STEP Clinic

    • Seattle STEP Clinic is a collaboration combining the harm reduction mission of Hepatitis Education Project with the medical services of Seattle Roots Community Health. Our evidence-based, low-barrier approach to care centers the needs and goals of each client individually to provide wrap-around care.
