We need information about each WIC participant, including their current weight, height, and hemoglobin results (this bloodwork looks for iron levels that can tell if you might be anemic or not) from within 60-90 days of a WIC enrollment appointment. There are two ways to provide this information.

Provide after-visit summary information

Send WIC weight, height and hemoglobin results from a doctor/medical provider appointment, a nurse home visit, or Head Start health screening.

You can provide this information by sending a photo of an after-visit summary or a screenshot of your electronic health record by:

  • Emailing wic@clackamas.us
  • Request a secure link is sent to you by text message for uploading your information. Send request to 503-655-8476.
  • Show weight, height, and hemoglobin results to a WIC staff member on a video call.

Farmers Market WIC Check Program

Those enrolled in our WIC program can receive fruit and veggie checks to spend at participating farmers markets to purchase locally grown fruits, vegetables, or cut herbs.
