Program Information:   WIC is the nation’s public health nutrition program designed to strengthen families by influencing lifetime nutrition and healthy behaviors in a specific high-risk population.  WIC’s combination of nutrition education, nutritious foods, breastfeeding support, and referrals to healthcare provides a link to good health in over 190 clinics administered by 20 local agencies in the state of Iowa.

Two licensed dietitians are available at all WIC Clinics.
