WIC Clinic

WIC is the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children. This public health program is designed to improve health outcomes and influence lifetime nutrition and health behaviors in targeted, at-risk populations. Nutrition education is the cornerstone of the WIC Program. Our WIC representative is culturally sensitive and knowledgeable and treats families with warmth and respect.
