WIC CELEBRATES LOCAL EXCELLENCE AND NATIONAL MILESTONE In 2024, the Special Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, also known as WIC, turned 50 years old. OneWorld’s WIC clinic is the largest in Nebraska, and its team members proudly serve nearly 5,000 people each month. OneWorld’s WIC team is supported by the Douglas County Health Department (DCHD) and is part of its larger effort to promote a culture of breastfeeding. In 2024, DCHD earned a regional Breastfeeding Award for Excellence – recognizing outstanding dedication and efforts in supporting breastfeeding mothers. With regular breastfeeding classes and trained Community Breastfeeding Educators, OneWorld’s WIC staff educate, encourage and embrace mothers on their feeding journeys. WIC is widely regarded as one of the most successful nutrition programs in the United States and is linked to healthier pregnancies, improved birth outcomes and enhanced child development.
