For People who live in Dane County, Wisconsin

WIC services are provided over the phone, or in person starting August 10th, 2023. Staff are available by phone for appointments and questions at (608) 267-1111.

If you have a scheduled appointment, you will get a phone call from us on the day of the appointment.
WIC benefits will be loaded onto your WIC card at the time of the phone call.
If you have a phone appointment, we can mail WIC materials or you can call ahead to arrange a time to pick them up at our offices during in-person appointment times.

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:
