WIC: Information for Health Care Providers and Professionals
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is Wisconsin’s premier public health nutrition program. It serves more than 90,000 women, infants, and children in Wisconsin each year. More than half of Wisconsin infants qualify for the WIC program.
Our program helps families get the essential nutrients they need during critical times of growth and development. We want to work side by side with health care providers. Together we can ensure our more vulnerable families get a healthy start and find lifelong wellness.
In January 2018, the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Nutrition issued a policy statement. The statement encourages health care providers to help eligible families apply for programs, such as WIC that provide high-quality nutrition to infants and children.
