Kitsap Public Health is accepting applications for two nonelected positions on its Health Board until July 12, 2026. The board seeks a 'Consumers of Public Health' representative who has faced health inequities or lived experience with public health programs, and an 'Other Community Stakeholders' member representing organizations working with underserved populations. Health Board member Drayton Jackson, completing his term in the Consumers position, emphasized the importance of community representation: 'Knowing that I can talk for people who don’t even believe they belong in the room, that was the key for me.'
