  Thurston Coalition for Women's Health  
 
  In 2010, the Health Department received a planning grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health.  The grant provided an opportunity to identify and prioritize health issues impacting Thurston County women and girls.  A local prevention plan was developed outlining key goals and strategies. 

In September 2011, Thurston County was awarded a grant to implement a portion of the Strategies for Action 2011-2016 Plan [PDF].

2011-2012 Focus (Year 2 Implementation)

  • Offer the Girls Circle program to Thurston County adolescent girls.
