Kitsap Community Health Priorities

Kitsap Public Health leads a multiyear process called Kitsap Community Health Priorities (KCHP) to engage community partners and leaders in reviewing data and identifying community health priorities and strategies to address them. Healthcare access was identified as a priority area in the 2023-2024 KCHP process. Visit our KCHP page to learn more.
