Camino Health Center

The organization provides educational and social services through the special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children (wic). The program provides supplemental nutrition food vouchers, nutrition education, and referrals to health care for low-income persons during critical periods of growth and development. Such persons include pregnant women, breast-feeding women up to one year postpartum, non-breast feeding women up to six months postpartum, infants, and children under age five determined to be at nutritional risk. Intervention during the prenatal period improves fetal development and reduces the incidence of low birth weight, short gestation, and anemia.
