The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program has been a beacon of support for women and children since the first clinic opened in 1974. For 50 years, WIC has worked to improve the health of women, infants, and children. In Virginia, the program currently serves 107,325 participants.
WIC focuses on providing pregnant women and children:
