NUHSA’s Public Policy Committee sent a letter of support for the soon to open International Community Health Services (ICHS) and their efforts to offer WIC services at their new Shoreline location. The WIC program offers important health screening and nutritional services for infants and mothers. Currently there are four WIC sites in North Seattle and North King County, but three of those four sites are located in Public Health Seattle King County Clinics slated to be closed in 2015. To ensure improved access to this important preventive service, NUHSA supports ICHS’ application to become a WIC site.
