SUMMARY OF KEY FUNDING / SERVICE ISSUES: The goal of the Family Planning program is to
provide support for families and individuals to control the timing of pregnancy and prevent unintended
pregnancies. Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH) provides the only family planning program in east
Jefferson County. Clinical fee revenue in the first half of 2011 has decreased by up to 20%.
The Teen Pregnancy rate of Jefferson County in 1992-94 was 16.6 per 1,000; from 2007-09 it was 5.2
representing a drop of 69%. WA State had rates decrease from 20 to 10.9 in the same years.
JCPH continues to partner with Jefferson Healthcare to provide two school clinics: one at the Port Townsend
High School, and one at the Chimacum High School. Clinics provide primary care and address other student
health issues. Approximately 60% of the visits are family planning related.
The Breast and Cervical Health Program (BCHP) provides cancer screenings to decrease deaths from breast
and cervical cancer in Jefferson county women. State and federal funding for BCHP was reduced in 2011.
Outreach and Education was cut to a minimum. The 2012 allocation is unknown (at this time) but it is
anticipated JCPH will continue Clinical Women’s health exams with less revenue.
Jefferson County’s senior population has grown rapidly in the last few decades. The number of seniors over
85 years increased 99% from 1990 to 2000. Since 2000 the growth rate has slowed to 38%. The JCPH Foot
Care Program helps this population maintain independence and mobility by providing foot maintenance at
community centers and in homes. Services include filing calluses, cutting nails, and tending to sores resulting
from diabetes.
