Looking for media contacts for a story about the current dept of health crisis facing licensing

Hi all. I’m a licensed mental health provider and I’m hoping someone here might know of any contacts in the media to go on blast about the crisis facing our mental health system in WA.

Last year, the Times did a report about the back log of applicants for mental health providers. It has only gotten worse. Currently there are 5,500 pending applications, with an average wait time of 160 days. I’ve already reached out to the original authors of the article but hoping someone else might know of any others that might be interested in the story.
