WIC NUTRITION PROGRAMTHE WIC NUTRITION PROGRAM HELPS IMPROVE THE LIVES OF AT-RISK WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES IN 17 PENNSYLVANIA COUNTIES BY PROMOTING GOOD NUTRITION HABITS. THROUGH NUTRITION COUNSELING, ELECTRONIC WIC (EWIC) BENEFITS TO PURCHASE HEALTHY FOODS, AND BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT, WE ARE FOSTERING HEALTHIER PREGNANCIES, HEALTHIER BIRTH OUTCOMES, BETTER GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF YOUNG CHILDREN, AND A REDUCTION IN CHILDHOOD OBESITY. THE SCIENTIFICALLY BASED WIC FOOD PACKAGE REINFORCES THE NUTRITION EDUCATION PROVIDED BY WIC NUTRITIONISTS AND PROVIDES PARTICIPANTS WITH SUPPLEMENTAL FOODS ESSENTIAL FOR HEALTHY GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT DURING PREGNANCY, INFANCY, AND EARLY CHILDHOOD. RESEARCH DEMONSTRATES THAT WIC PARTICIPATION RESULTS IN IMPROVED COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT, REDUCED RATES OF ANEMIA, IMPROVED ACCESS TO HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES, AND IMPROVED IMMUNIZATION RATES. A RECENT STUDY PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (JAMA), FOUND THAT WIC PARTICIPATION IS ASSOCIATED WITH LOWER PRETERM BIRTH AND INFANT MORTALITY. SPECIFICALLY, THE STUDY FOUND THAT BABIES BORN TO WIC PARTICIPANTS ARE 33 PERCENT LESS LIKELY TO DIE IN THE FIRST YEAR OF LIFE.WIC ACTIVELY PROMOTES BREASTFEEDING AS THE OPTIMAL CHOICE FOR INFANT FEEDING AND PROVIDES SUPPORT SERVICES AND RESOURCES TO BREASTFEEDING MOTHERS. NUTRITIONISTS ENCOURAGE AND SUPPORT A MOTHER'S DECISION TO BREASTFEED BY PROVIDING INFORMATION ABOUT THE MANY BENEFITS OF BREASTFEEDING, RESOURCES THAT LEAD TO SUCCESSFUL BREASTFEEDING, AND ACCESS TO BREAST PUMPS IF NEEDED. THE MFHS BREASTFEEDING PEER COUNSELOR PROGRAM HELPS IMPROVE BREASTFEEDING RATES BY PAIRING NEW MOMS WITH LOCAL MOTHERS WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN WIC TO PROVIDE EDUCATION, SUPPORT, AND SERVE AS A ROLE-MODEL. WITH THE HELP OF MOTHERS WHO HAVE BREASTFED FOR AT LEAST SIX MONTHS, NEW MOMS ARE SHOWN HOW VALUABLE BREASTFEEDING CAN BE TO THEM AND THEIR BABY'S HEALTH, NUTRITION, AND EMOTIONAL STATE.IN 2022, A TOTAL OF 72,756 UNDUPLICATED PARTICIPANTS WERE SERVED BY THE WIC PROGRAM AT 32 LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT 17 PENNSYLVANIA COUNTIES IN THE MFHS SERVICE NETWORK MFHS.
