WIC
(Women, Infants and Children Supplemental Nutrition
Program - This site, presented by the
Oklahoma State Department of Health provides
information and services related to nutritional
needs of women, infants and children living in the
State of Oklahoma. The WIC Program was
authorized in legislation passed by the United
States Congress in Section 17 of the Child Nutrition
Act of 1966. The reason for enactment was due to
findings that substantial numbers of pregnant,
postpartum and breastfeeding women, infants and
young children from families with inadequate income
are at special risk with respect to their physical
and mental health by reason of inadequate nutrition
or health care, or both.
