How We Can Help


To facilitate coordinated care, a public health nurse can:

  • Listen to your concerns;

  • Help a family find or coordinate medical providers and a medical home;

  • Help a family or provider access local resources and/or services for the child;

  • Provide information about local community resources, including parent support organizations and community coalitions.


Contact Us


Please call 360-728-2235 if you know a child you think might benefit, or you are a provider who has questions about specific local resources for a child in your care.
