WIC offers support and guidance to help you feed and care for your family in a healthy way.  Clients with high-risk nutrition issues are offered nutrition counseling services by a registered dietitian (RD/RDN). Our nutrition staff and registered dietitians will work with you to meet your family’s needs. We also offer online nutrition education at www.wichealth.org. Topics may include infant feeding, food shopping, meal planning, making healthy food choices, and weight management.
