WIC FOR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS
Healthcare providers play an important role in helping families connect to WIC. They can refer patients to their local WIC clinic, share anthropometric data such as height, weight, and hemoglobin to help streamline the certification process, and provide WIC information to new moms and families with young children.
