Washington

Washington, well known for its incredible salmon fisheries, is home to several large international corporations including Amazon.com, Microsoft, and Starbucks. With its numerous museums, galleries, festivals, mountain ranges, and vineyards, residents have a wide choice of unique and diverse opportunities. NYU Langone Dental Medicine's health center affiliates in Washington are located as far east as Spokane, as far west as Tacoma and as far south as Yakima. In 2019, 9.8% of people in Washington had incomes below the poverty line ($25,926 for a family of four) and 12.7% of people under age 65 and below 138% of the poverty line did not have health insurance. NYU Langone Dental Medicine and its health center affiliates help to ensure equitable and affordable dental care while enhancing and honing the skills of postdoctoral dental practitioners.
