Healthcare providers are vital partners to improve life-long health and nutrition outcomes for our shared patients. WIC referrals and consistent messaging from healthcare providers are critical for helping patients make informed decisions about their health.

This page is intended to be a resource for healthcare providers who share patients with Oregon WIC clinics. For more information, contact your local WIC clinic, or call the state WIC office at (971) 673-0040.
