Refer-a-Mom
Refer your patient to WIC if:
- She is pregnant, postpartum or has a child up to age 5,
- She or her child receives Medicaid, SNAP or TANF. Even if your patient does not receive these programs, they may still qualify for WIC by meeting the income guidelines for their household.
It only takes a few minutes to fill out the online form. Afterwards, let your patient know WIC will contact her to schedule an appointment and guide her through the rest of the process.
Printable Patient Handouts
WIC's printable patient handouts give your patients actionable steps to address a variety of common breastfeeding concerns.
Available in English and Spanish.
