Child Attendance & Appointments

Plan for your visit to take about 30–45 minutes. Children must attend growth checks and certification appointments unless a medical provider determines they cannot leave the home.

What to Expect

During each appointment, you will meet with one of our CPAs (usually a registered dietitian or registered nurse). Services may include:

• Height and weight measurements
• Iron screening for children and pregnant/postpartum women when needed
• Personalized nutrition counseling and support
• Help with special dietary needs and healthy food choices
• Guidance on prenatal nutrition
• Support with meal planning and shopping on a budget

WIC eCard

Benefits are issued on a card that works like a debit card and can be used to purchase approved foods at participating stores. Each family receives one card with benefits for all eligible participants.

Nutrition Education

Nutrition education is an important part of the WIC program and is offered throughout your time on WIC. Topics may include prenatal nutrition, infant feeding, introducing solid foods, meal planning, shopping on a budget, and managing children’s food preferences.

Education can be completed in-person at your WIC clinic during appointments or online through WIC Health.
