ADVOCACY
Our Legislative Ask
This legislative session, Family Connects Pierce County is requesting $3 million over the biennium to maintain our current catchment of 1,500 births per year, and to support all Pierce County births at Tacoma General Hospital and St. Joseph Medical Center, reaching nearly 6,000 families.
