Mr. Ford Kessler
686 Lake Street
Port Townsend, WA 98368
Dear Mr. Kessler:
Please join us and other community leaders for an interesting, fast-paced presentation of an
updated community health profile. The demographic data and Behavior Risk Surveillance
Survey (BRFSS), last released in the 2002 Healthy Jefferson Report, has been updated.
This review will be hosted by Jefferson County Board of Health (BOH) and presented by Kitsap
Health District's Dr. Chris Hale and Sid Kushner. This event will take place on June 14 at the
Marina Room at Point Hudson, 103 Hudson St., Port Townsend. We will begin at 1:00—2:30
pm with a quick review of data. From 2:30—4:00 pm participants are welcome to join the BOH
develop draft community goals and values statements and identify key priorities.
If you are unable to attend personally, please send a representative to join other community
leaders, elected officials and citizens.
IIIThis workshop should be valuable for those responsible for identifying community needs and
making policy decisions.
For further information on this BOH presentation, please contact Jean Baldwin at (360) 385-
9408 orjbaldwin(c�co.jefferson.wa.us.
Please RSVP to Cathy Avery (360) 385-9438, caveryco.jefferson.wa.us or Donna Marvin at
(360) 385-9441, dmarvinco.jefferson.wa.us
Thank you. We look forward to a lively data driven discussion as we, as a community, identify
and set priorities.
Sincerely,
3VQ- -

In spite of relatively high levels of poverty among unmarried and single women with children,infants •
born in Jefferson County are healthy. The risks facing these infants during childhood may not be based in
biology,but in economic, and psychosocial conditions. In addition to the consequences of poverty,many
county children live in households with adults who smoke and drink heavily. One third of adults in
