SUMMARY OF KEY FUNDING/SERVICE ISSUES FOR 2017
JCPH Family Health Services address the needs of our community’s families through early prevention and intervention services. Programs such as Maternity Support
Services, Infant Case Management, Nurse-Family Partnership, and WIC are designed to reach local, state and federal public Health goals. Families are enrolled the programs
based in differing criteria and all participation is voluntary.
Public Health Nurses offer education, guidance and support to pregnant and parenting families through these programs. Topics discussed include Adverse Childhood
Experiences (ACES), breastfeeding, perinatal mental health, parent-child relationships, intimate partner violence and substance use.
JCPH entered a regional partnership with Kitsap Public Health District and Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe in 2012 to expand Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) services to
Kitsap County. JCPH’s 17 year experience with NFP has provided infrastructure support, nurse home visiting expertise and mentoring to nurse home visitors in Kitsap
County through weekly individual and team meetings. Two NFP-trained nurse home visitors currently share a caseload to offer NFP services in Jefferson County. While the
NFP program is growing strongly as a regional program, fewer families were seen in JCPH Family Health Services programs than in previous years. This reflects a similar
statewide trend of decreased enrollment in MSS and WIC services. JCPH Family Health Services Programs will continue outreach and recruitment of programs to families
and also review agency service component to improve program delivery.
The WIC Programs continue to offer services in Port Townsend, Quilcene (bi-monthly) and Tri-Area (bi-monthly). Breastfeeding education and support is provided through
individual client contact in WIC, Maternity Support Services and NFP client visits, and the Breastfeeding Tea. Family Health Services Team regularly collaborates with
Jefferson Healthcare medical providers and the Family Birth Center to provide breastfeeding and maternal-child health services. Enrollment in WIC has declined which
reflects a statewide trend. WIC clinic was reduced from weekly to twice a month in Quilcene and Clinic hours were slightly reduced in Port Townsend to address lower
caseloads. Staff will continue outreach and recruitment. WIC Farmers Market program has been maintained and provides incentive for families to purchase local fresh fruits
and vegetables, and supports the local farmers.
In past years, CPS managed two contracts with JCPH to offer public health nursing intervention with families in the Early Family Support Services (EFFS) and Early
Intervention Program (EIP). In 2014 EFFS was discontinued and as of August 2016 only a few referrals have come in for EIP services. JCPH, CPS and Jefferson Healthcare
Primary Care providers plan to continue to meet monthly to address intervention and care of Families involved with all three agencies.
