WIC Monroe County is a vital part of Ohio's public health system, providing nutrition and breastfeeding education, support, and supplemental foods to income-eligible pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, infants, and children up to 5 years old. They offer services such as height and weight checks, hemoglobin iron testing, and referrals to healthcare providers and community programs.
With a team of certified lactation consultants and specialists, WIC Monroe County is dedicated to increasing breastfeeding initiation and duration by providing mothers with the knowledge and resources they need. Eligibility is based on income and residency in Ohio, and the program serves families at or below 185% of the federal poverty guidelines. Those receiving assistance from programs like Ohio Works First, Food Assistance, Food Stamps, and Medicaid may also be income eligible for WIC.
