SUMMARY OF KEY FUNDING / SERVICE ISSUES: The goal of the Family Planning program is to
provide the 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.
Revenue from Fees and Grants has remained stable in 2012.
Jefferson County’s teen pregnancy rate is 5.2 which is significantly lower than WA State teen pregnancy rates
of 10.9. (2007-2009 data)
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 other student health
issues, about 60% of visits are family planning.
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 2012.
Outreach and Education was cut to a minimum. The 2013 allocation continues to be the same as 2012.
Jefferson County’s senior population has grown rapidly in the last few decades. Seniors over 85 years
increased 99% from 1990 to 2000 and 38% from 2000 to 2009. The JCPH Foot Care Program helps this
population maintain independence and mobility by providing foot maintenance at community centers and in
homes. Foot Care services provide what a client can no longer perform for themselves, such as filing
calluses, cutting nails, and tending to sores resulting from diabetes.
