Office Information:

The Women, Infants, and Children program (WIC) is available for eligible pregnant and breastfeeding women and for infants and children up to five years of age.

The program provides free, healthful foods and nutrition information, as well as information on preventing nutrition-related health problems such as diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure.

They accept patients with the following health coverage: Medicaid, AllKids, Blue Cross and Medicare.

However, JCDH does not accept patients who are enrolled in other insurance programs including patients enrolled in an HMO or with TriCare, except for patients wishing to receive family planning services only.

• Between 7:45 AM and 4:30 PM on Monday to Friday

The Official WIC program is available to low to moderate income pregnant women, recently delivered women, breastfeeding women, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutrition risk. Fathers can also bring their children to apply for WIC. You may apply for WIC if you are working or unemployed. Check the Income Guidelines Table to see if you are eligible for WIC. This website was created for women looking for WIC information and locations. We are also working towards adding other locations and services that may help out women.
