Public Health - Dayton & Montgomery County is proud to announce the Grand Opening of a new Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Clinic located at 8 Prestige Plaza in Miamisburg, OH, 45342. The Grand Opening will be Tuesday, October 22 at 10am.
WIC is a supplemental nutrition program that serves to safeguard the health of income-eligible women, infants and children up to age five. The foods provided through the WIC Program are designed to supplement participants’ diets with specific nutrients. WIC authorized foods include infant cereal, baby foods, iron-fortified adult cereal, fruits and vegetables, vitamin C-rich fruit or vegetable juice, eggs, milk, cheese, soy-based beverages, tofu, peanut butter, dried and canned
beans/peas, canned fish, whole wheat bread and other whole-grain options.
For infants of women who do not fully breastfeed, WIC provides iron-fortified infant formula. Special infant formulas and medical foods may also be provided if medically indicated.
WIC benefits are not limited only to food. Participants have access to a number of resources, including health screenings, nutrition and breastfeeding peer support, immunization screening and referral, substance abuse referral, and more.
“The WIC program has a powerful impact on families,” said Tracey Waller, Supervisor of the WIC Program at Public Health. “We are excited to provide valuable nutrition education and resources to families in our new location.”
