SUMMARY OF KEY FUNDING/SERVICE ISSUES FOR 2014
JCPH Family Health Programs address local, state and federal public health goals through intervention, treatment and prevention services. 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 15
year experience with NFP has provided infrastructure support, nurse home visiting expertise and mentoring to new 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 overall in JCPH Family Health Services programs in 2013 than projected. The lower numbers have presented an
opportunity to review and plan for increased and improved program messaging and outreach for all JCPH family health services in the community. Public Health Nurses
received continuing education on ACEs, breastfeeding, perinatal mental health, parent-child relationships, and domestic violence, in order to increase their knowledge and
skills in providing comprehensive services to clients.
The WIC Programs continues to offer services in Port Townsend, Quilcene (weekly) 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.
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, only one of the contracts remained, reducing the number of services to families served through Children’s 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.
