• Certifications/Re-certifications: You will need to qualify for the program every 6 months. At these appointments we will check your child's growth, and then you will have an individual nutrition consultation. At each certification you will need to meet the qualifications of residency, income, and nutritional need.
• Nutrition Classes: Between certifications you will return to the WIC clinic every 3 months to receive an eWIC card and complete a nutrition class. Classes can be completed in one of two ways: 1) online at wichealth.org (please print the participation certificate and bring it with you to your next scheduled appointment) or 2) in the clinic through a bulletin board class. You will review the bulletin board and complete the accompanying quiz.
• Individual Nutrition Consultations: Registered Dieticians are available by appointment to provide additional counseling if you have specific nutrition concerns.
• Breastfeeding Support is available to individuals with breastfeeding concerns. Lactation Educators and a Peer Counselor are available to answer questions and help you in person by appointment or anytime by phone.
• Supplemental Foods: WIC is a supplemental food program, which means we only provide part of the food your body needs to stay healthy. The foods provided are chosen because they are economical and provide certain nutrients you need, such as: calcium, iron, Vitamins A, C, D, and protein.
• Community Referrals: WIC strives to keep a current referral list to other programs in our community that you might find helpful.

1. You need to bring and be asked to show:
   • Proof of identity for everyone who will be on the WIC program. You may bring driver's license, birth certificate, Medicaid card, letter from human services for foster children, or call with questions about other forms of ID.
   • Proof of income such as paycheck stubs from the last month for all those employed in your household. You could also bring a current month Medicaid card, unemployment check or food stamp letter.
   • Proof of Residency that is current and has a street address, not a P.O. Box. Examples are a utility bill, Medicaid card, rent or mortgage receipt, pay check stub, bank statement, etc.
   • Immunization records for all children if possible.
   • All persons applying for services need to attend since qualifying requires collection of health data, such as weight, height and hemoglobin.
2. Health and Nutrition Assessment: 
   Next you will receive a health assessment from a WIC professional. This includes being weighed, measured and having a finger stick to determine your hemoglobin level. You will be asked a variety of questions about your family's diet and medical history. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions and consult with WIC nutritionists and/or Dieticians.
3. Program Orientation: 
   Then you will watch a short video that will explain how to use the WIC checks at participating stores in Utah.
4. Food Benefit Card or eWIC Card:
   Finally you will be given an eWIC card which can be used at local grocery stores for nutritious food. The first certifying appointment should take approximately one hour.
