Helping Kitsap Families Thrive


Our team of nurses, breastfeeding/chestfeeding experts, and community health workers is dedicated to offering support and education to people who are pregnant, parents of young children, and families.


Our goal is to help all Kitsap children thrive in a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment.

  • We provide a free nurse for people who are pregnant with their first baby.  

  • We provide resources and referrals for families and caretakers of children experiencing physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional conditions.  

  • We host a nurse-led group that encourages healthy movement and social time for parents of babies. 

  • We work to address maternal and infant health disparities and challenges faced by our Black community. 

  • We help lactating parents feel safe and supported, and support families with the infant feeding method that works best for them.


  • We provide resources for people who are pregnant and new parents. 

In 2023, Kitsap Public Health District, in partnership with Kitsap County and Virginia Mason Franciscan Health, hosted the Kitsap Maternal Infant Health Forum at the Marvin Williams Recreation Center in Bremerton.

 

The goal of the forum was to foster collaboration, inspire knowledge exchange, and most importantly, share innovative solutions for protecting and improving the health of people who give birth and their infants in Kitsap County.

 

Everyday, we work to improve maternal and infant health in Kitsap. Learn more:​
