Family Health Services:  WIC - Nutrition Education

Each WIC participant is given an initial nutritional assessment to determine nutritional needs.  Participants then receive individual nutrition counseling by a trained health care educator.  Attendance at ongoing nutrition education classes is a requirement for all participants.

Parents attend classes on meal preparation and health maintenance.  Class topics vary and can range from instruction on food preparation to food safety.  Children attend Kids' Club classes, which are part of a specially designed program to familiarize children with the concept of nutrition.
