WIC Program Update starting August 10, 2023:

We will be starting to track you or your child’s growth so that we can better take care of you.

If you’re pregnant:

• If you see a doctor regularly, you don’t need to do anything right now. Before your next WIC appointment in August or later, we will send you a link that asks for your height, weight, and iron levels. Having MyChart on your phone will make it easy for you to upload these measurements. 
• If you don’t see a doctor regularly, we can check height, weight, and iron levels at our in-person clinic hours starting August 10. Make an appointment by calling (608) 267-1111.
• If you don’t see a doctor and coming in person is a barrier for you, we are here to help. Give us a call at (608) 267-1111 so we can discuss your situation.

If you have a child who uses WIC:

• If your child sees a doctor regularly, you don’t need to do anything right now. Before your next WIC appointment in August or later, we will send you a link that asks for your height, weight, and iron levels. Having MyChart on your phone will make it easy for you to upload this info.
