Our Mission
Friends of Public Health raises funds for the patient-focused care provided by employees of the Public Health Department of Jefferson County, Washington. This patient-focused care includes, but is not limited to, Jefferson County School-Based Health Clinics, Senior Foot Care Clinics, Sexual and Reproductive Health Clinics, Harm Reduction Support, and Teen Resilience Programs.
Friends of Public Health operates under the fiscal sponsorship of the Jefferson Community Foundation, and all donations are fully tax deductible. The funds we raise move directly from the Friends of Public Health Fund to the Jefferson County Washington Public Health Department without review or grant process.
Friends of Public Health also seeks out grants, organizes meetings, and engages in other such activities that the Board deems helpful in support of the Public Health Department of Jefferson County.
