Washington Prenatal-to-Three Coalition
The Washington Prenatal-to-Three Coalition was formed in 2022 to ensure every Washington family has the support they need to thrive from pregnancy to age three.
To that end, the Coalition convenes a growing network of providers, advocates, and leaders to:
- Identify Gaps: Look for where families have trouble getting services and support, especially in communities that have been historically left out or underinvested in.
- Build Relationships and Advocate: Work with community leaders and partners to support policies which transform systems to put families first.
- Co-design and Collaborate: Listen to families with lived experience and work together with partners across sectors to create and support solutions that strengthen prenatal-to-three efforts.
The Coalition identifies goals and strategies across four key areas of work to progress through committees, workgroups, and special projects.
Those four areas are:
• Increased access to basic needs
• Increased access to perinatal and pediatric medical care
• Increased family stability through targeted pathways to concrete supports in times of need
• Improved child developmental health
The Coalition includes the following partners:
• WithinReach
• WA State Department of Health
• WA State Department of Children, Youth, and Families
• WA State Health Care Authority
• WA State Department of Social and Health Services
• WA State Employment Security Department
• Local health jurisdictions
• Community-based organizations
• Health care providers, parents, and elected officials
Each year, the Coalition’s Policy and Advocacy subcommittee brings together partners who have a lobby presence in Olympia. The group publishes a shared agenda of strategies to strengthen and align legislative efforts for prenatal-to-3 priorities.
The Washington Prenatal-to-Three Coalition’s 2026 Shared Legislative Agenda shows the subcommittee’s priorities as well as the end of session report from the most recent legislative session. All priorities connect to one or more of the Coalition’s four areas of work.
