Local community resources and services

For those who qualify, King County Public Health nurses are available to visit you in your home or in your community during your pregnancy and after birth. Public health nurses can provide assistance with referrals to community resources and education regarding a healthy pregnancy. They can also visit you after your baby is born to check on your health and your baby’s health and give advice.
