Mi WIC PR 5.5

The WIC program is a crucial resource for pregnant women, infants, postpartum mothers, and children up to 5 years old who are at nutritional risk. This public health initiative provides valuable education on healthy eating practices, offers referrals to other healthcare services, and supports and informs individuals about breastfeeding.

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is administered by the Food and Nutrition Services of the Federal Department of Agriculture in Puerto Rico. It operates as an integral component of the Department of Health, ensuring that individuals receive necessary education in nutrition, breastfeeding guidance, and access to supplemental food resources.
