"Striving to make Kitsap County the healthiest place on the planet to live, work, and play." The Kitsap County Health District was organized as a full-time public health agency in 1943. For over sixty years, we have strived to protect and promote the health of Kitsap County residents by preventing and controlling disease, injury, disability, and premature death. A ten-member Board of Health, composed of county and city elected officials, supervises the policy and budget of the Health District.
