The Macomb County Health Department (MCHD) has relocated its Women, Infants, and Children Program (WIC), formerly located at the Max Thompson Family Resource Center on Hupp Avenue in Warren, to its new location at the Southwest Health Center located at 27690 Van Dyke Avenue in Warren. The new location at the Southwest Health Center WIC office reopened on Monday, September 16, 2024.
WIC provides free lactation, formula and food package support, along with help finding health insurance, housing and more for eligible pregnant people and children under five years old.
According to Public Health Services Manager, Lauren Cody, the move to the Southwest Health Center provides residents improved customer experience and co-locates department services. “We pride ourselves on providing great customer service and are always looking to improve the client experience. The Southwest Health Center is a newer building that already houses many programs of benefit to our WIC population. It is also conveniently located on a bus route and has ample parking.” WIC clients will be able to make appointments in the same building with the Family Planning, Immunization, and STI/HIV programs. WIC appointments are available at the Southwest Health Center five days a week.
In addition to the Southwest Health Center location, MCHD provides WIC services at three other locations in Macomb County:
- VerKuilen Building in Clinton Township
- Southeast Family Resource Center in St. Clair Shores
- Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services [ACCESS] in Sterling Heights
WIC services are available by appointment only and eligibility requirements apply. To learn if you or your family member qualifies for WIC services, please visit the WIC website at macombgov.org/WIC or call 586-469-5571 to speak with a team member.
