The Cornell Scott-Hill Health Center WIC Program was the first Wic program in Connecticut and one of the first in the nation. WIC provides healthy food information and nutrition education to pregnant women, post-partum women, infants and children. To enroll in the WIC program you must be income eligible and/or have a nutritional and/or medical risk. WIC also has a nutritionist on-hand who specializes in lactation/breastfeeding techniques and education. WIC refers clients to other programs as needed such as HUSKY, Food Stamps, Social Services, etc.
Fair Haven offers the state and federally subsidized Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) supplemental food program. WIC provides nutrition counseling and helps low-income mothers and their children buy nutritious foods. WIC helps low-income pregnant and postpartum women, and children up to age five, to buy the extra foods they need during pregnancy, infancy, and young childhood. Women and children must be low income and have a nutritional risk such as poor diet, low weight gain, or anemia in order to be eligible.
The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program is funded by a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture to provide supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five who are found to be at nutritional risk.
