What We Do
Women, Infant and Children (WIC) is available in over 110 clinics that cover all of Nebraska (see map below).1 The Nebraska WIC Program provides health screenings, free healthy food, nutrition information and breastfeeding support to more than 38,000 low income women, infants and children across the state each month.2 Community oral health education and prevention programs can partner with WIC clinics to provide services and offer patient referrals. Dental health promotional events and outreach activities can also be coordinated through these sites.
