Healthy Families

Healthy Families is a voluntary and confidential home-based service to support new and expectant parents. Because babies begin learning at birth, Healthy Families believes parents are their child’s first and best teachers. Parenting is a very demanding job and all parents have worries, questions and stress.

The program provides families with information about services available in the community, information about the health, safety and care of newborns, and access to the latest information on brain development. Families receive regular visits from a trained Family Support Specialist who can provide support, developmental assessments for their child, and an opportunity to set and accomplish family goals.

Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

WIC is a federally-funded nutrition program that provides benefits, nutrition counseling, and community referrals to pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infants and children under five years of age in Bartholomew, Clark, Jackson, Jefferson, Jennings, Scott and surrounding Indiana counties.

WIC is designed to improve fetal development, reduce the incidence of low birth weight and premature births, reduce maternal and childhood anemia, and promote breastfeeding.

The WIC program helps families like yours start strong and stay that way. We give you benefits you can use to get nutritious foods, free.

We know that raising a family takes more than love, it takes money. Unfortunately, times are tight for families like yours all across Indiana. Every month, more than 155,000 Hoosiers count on WIC for more than free food. They count on us for good food, free.

Who's Eligible?

  • Pregnant women
  • New moms (up to six months after delivery)
    Breastfeeding moms (up to one year after delivery)
  • Infants
  • Children under the age of five

You must live in Indiana and meet income guidelines. Check the income chart here* to see if your family may qualify.

When you apply, you’ll receive a personalized nutrition assessment to see if the program is right for you.

Families already receiving Medicaid, Food Stamps, and TANF are income eligible for the WIC program.

Benefits to WIC Participants

  • Supplemental nutritious foods
  • Nutrition education and counseling at WIC clinics
  • Referrals to other health and social services

How does WIC Work?

As a WIC applicant, you will contact the clinic in your community for a free visit to be enrolled and to pick up your benefits. At the appointment, you’ll receive nutrition education and breastfeeding support, and learn about other services you can use to help your family. The WIC benefits can be used at local grocery stores for cereal, juice, milk, eggs, peanut butter, beans, whole wheat bread, brown rice, whole wheat or corn tortillas, fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, cheese, and baby food.

In accordance with Federal Law and U.S. Department of Agriculture policy, this institution is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability.
