WIC Appointments:

  • Photo ID
  • Medicaid card or check stub

What Happens at a WIC Appointment?  

  • First you meet our support staff. They will help you with our forms.
  • Height, weight, and blood iron is checked about every six months.  Painless, no-stick blood work is done for most children and women.
  • A health professional reviews your or your child’s health information.  All findings about growth and eating habits are discussed with you.
  • Together with the health professional, you write a six-month goal to try something to work towards a healthy lifestyle.  Goals are simple and practical – like using low-fat milk.
  • You will receive your nutrition benefits at your WIC appointment.
