Our Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program provide nutrition education, breastfeeding support services, supplemental nutritious foods and referrals to health and social services. Our WIC participants range from working to non-working families, and we do not limit eligibility on the basis of citizenship or immigration status.
We are committed to protecting all patient information. We are bound by federal regulations to maintain the confidentiality of participant data and personal information. This means we do not inquire or collect information about one’s immigration status, nor do we share information about immigration or citizenship status with immigration authorities. We are, and have always been, committed to serving our community. It is our mission to give you and your family the best quality, affordable and comprehensive health care. No matter what.
