📰 News we're reading

• Dental clinic rolls south to close care gap - Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader (ptleader.com) — Quilcene residents will soon see Jefferson Healthcare's new mobile dental clinic bringing cleanings, screenings, and basic restorative care directly into town, reducing long drives for treatment. The project is part of a broader push to expand services in mid- and south-county communities while the hospital district braces for federal Medicaid changes and looks for creative ways to fund mission-driven care.
   

• Utility drives broadband expansion into rural Jefferson County (ptleader.com) — Quilcene households now have access to publicly owned fiber internet that PUD officials say rivals big-city speeds, thanks to Jefferson County PUD's rapid rural broadband buildout. With more than 400 miles of fiber in place and 1,000 customers connected countywide, residents who already see a PUD network device on their home are urged to sign up and activate service.
