Supporting Healthy Families from Pregnancy Through Childhood
The Mason County Health Department provides services and support to help children get a healthy start and families feel confident caring for them. Our programs focus on nutrition, healthy development, prevention, and early identification of health concerns. From pregnancy and breastfeeding through the preschool years, our team works with families to provide education, screenings, resources, and connections to additional care when needed.
WIC
Nutrition education, healthy foods, breastfeeding support, and other resources for pregnant women, infants, and children under age 5.

Breastfeeding education, assistance, and support from our lactation staff and WIC Breastfeeding Peer Counselor.
Childhood Lead Screening
Lead screening and education to help identify and reduce children’s exposure to lead.
Better Birth Outcomes – Comprehensive

Fluoride Varnish

We’re Here to Help
Children don’t come with an instruction manual, and knowing where to start can sometimes be just as challenging as knowing what your child needs. Our staff can help you find the appropriate service, answer questions, and connect your family with additional resources when needed.
