WIC:
| What is WIC? WIC is a health and nutrition program for pregnant, breastfeeding, or postpartum women, for infants and for children up to five years of age. A participant in the WIC Program receives breastfeeding information and support, a limited health check, access to nutrition education and vouchers to purchase nutritious foods. Participation in the WIC Program is encouraged from early pregnancy through the child's fifth birthday. The WIC Program is an important link to other health care and immunizations clinics. Eligibility for the WIC Program is determined using income and nutritional guidelines. Vouchers, for the purchase of foods high in iron, calcium, protein, vitamin A, are issued to qualifying participants. Types of food provided: |
