MOHAVE COUNTY, AZ – Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is a supplemental nutrition program designed to provide healthy foods, breastfeeding support, personalized nutrition education, and referrals to additional services supporting families in need. Brenda LoBue, Mohave County’s Nutrition and Health Promotion Manager, announced, “The Mohave County WIC program is thrilled to introduce these in-person services to our Colorado City community.” She further explained that “while residents still have the option to receive phone services through Mohave County, some moms and guardians have a need for in-person connection. Having this physical location provides those opportunities to our families.”
The WIC services are being operated out of the nursing department located at 2096 S. Hwy 389 Colorado City, Arizona. Located next to the North Canyon Justice Court. Residents who qualify can visit the office to collect their e-WIC card or breast pump, which eliminates the need to travel to the Town of Fredonia or wait for these items to be delivered by mail. Registered Nurse Diedre Barlow is available to answer health-related questions and connect residents to other resources they may need.
The office hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., closing from noon until 1 p.m. for lunch. Residents interested in learning more should call (928) 753-8677 or visit https://www.azdhs.gov/prevention/azwic/ to check if their family qualifies.
