Raleigh County WIC Office
Tucked away between the
Beckley/Raleigh County Health Department, formerly known as the Eleanor Hurt
Health Clinic, and the Veterans of all Wars Museum on Harper Road, the small
modular cream-colored building, its windows trimmed in the traditional green of
the WIC logo, sits the Beckley/Raleigh County WIC Clinic. Although small
in dimension, this WIC site handles the largest number of WIC customers in the
southern part of the state.
Participants and children
alike enjoy a visit to the clinic.
The play area allows space for
toddlers to interact and play with other children. Parents have
opportunities as well, as they can sit back and enjoy an informative video on
their well-being and nutrition while they wait to be seen in the clinic.
The Beckley Clinic attempts to
answer all needs of its participants, whether it be advice about diet, formula
changes, or other helpful social services.
We have expanded the program
to include literacy by providing free books at the child's birthday and reading
sessions.
We also provide information
about fruits and vegetables, the inclusion of calcium, proteins and
carbohydrates into the diet, as well as a list of iron rich foods to enhance
hemoglobin readings.
The WIC program at the
Beckley/Raleigh County Clinic eagerly invites all who qualify for the program
and hope that in some way, we can be instrumental in improving your family's
lives, nutritionally and psychologically. We believe that WIC improves
lives and helps provide a better future for the children.
