Nutrition Services
Eating well is a cornerstone to overall health. We can help you develop a personalized nutrition plan to meet your health goals, whether to manage weight, manage a chronic illness, or eat well through normal life stages, including pregnancy, infancy, and your golden years. We welcome private consultations or community education opportunities.
WIC Services
We also administer the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants & Children, better know as WIC. WIC serves low-income pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women as well as infants and children up to 5 years of age. The goal of WIC is to safeguard the health of its participants by providing nutritious foods, nutrition and breastfeeding education, support and health referrals. We welcome any inquiries regarding WIC qualification and participation in the program. For more information, visit their website.
This institution is an equal opportunity employer.
