In commemoration of 50 years of service, "The First Clinic," invites us to revisit the transformative year of 1974, when WIC's inaugural clinic opened its doors in Pineville, Kentucky. It was a trailblazing moment that set the stage for progress nationwide. The opening of the first clinic marked the beginning of what would become a 50-year legacy of improving health outcomes for countless families through WIC.

WIC supports 50% of all infants born in the United States by providing access to the best information and health services for mothers and children. View this video to learn more about why WIC matters: WIC50th.nwica.org #WIC50
