Alcona County WIC Clinic

About this clinic

WIC is a health and nutrition program that has demonstrated a positive effect on pregnancy outcomes, child growth and development. WIC provides supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for income eligible pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five. WIC program and income guidelines are located in the links on the right. Breastfeeding is the most natural, healthy, and loving gift a mother can give to her baby. Mother's milk has everything a baby needs to grow and stay healthy. WIC provides answers to breastfeeding questions and helps moms who continue breastfeeding when they go back to work or school: Breastfeeding mothers may receive a breast pump to use. WIC moms who are breastfeeding can also continue to receive a food package for up to one year.
