Yandell WIC Office

About this clinic

La Fe’s Women, Infants, and Children’s Program (WIC) provides essential nutritional and breastfeeding education and support to El Paso County’s low-income women and their families. Our bilingual and culturally respectful staff serves our community via its two main sites, the La Fe Central Clinic and the La Fe WIC Program office on Yandell Avenue. Our program’s staff coordinates workshops and training sessions for our community’s health professionals on the nutritional benefits of breastfeeding. Additionally, our staff works with our local business community on how to establish Mother and Breastfeeding-Friendly workplaces. Visits are scheduled with new mothers at area hospitals shortly after birth so our breastfeeding counselors and personnel can offer counseling and education. Breastfeeding education and outreach are also available at La Fe’s satellite clinics.
