When you refer clients to WIC, you are helping make a difference in the health of Florida’s women, infants, and children. Improving maternal and child health is a common goal you share with the WIC program. By referring potentially eligible women, infants, and children to the local WIC office, you will be providing a valuable service for your clients. Your clients who participate in WIC will receive free, professional nutrition services as well as healthy foods. The clients served by WIC are most vulnerable to the effects of poor nutrition and are most likely to benefit from the WIC program. Your help is needed to reach all potentially eligible clients.
Refer a Client to WIC
If you are a health care provider, please complete a Florida WIC Program Medical Referral Form for each client you are referring to WIC. Give the completed referral form to the client, and tell the client to call the local WIC office for an appointment. The client must bring the completed
referral form to the WIC certification appointment or the form can be mailed or faxed to the local WIC office.
If you are not a health care provider, please have your client call the local WIC office for an appointment. The WIC office will assist the client in obtaining the required medical referral information.
