On the first Friday in February, PCHD employees wear RED to help raise awareness of women’s No. 1 killer – cardiovascular disease.

"On National Wear Red Day, raise your voice, wear red and
encourage others to do the same. Women everywhere deserve to be seen, heard, and celebrated. Cardiovascular disease doesn’t define us, and that’s why we’re standing together. We have the power to change the future of women’s heart health."

Update from our WIC Director!

Our team will be working to call those that missed appointments due to the closure. The wait time to be seen as a walk-in could be longer than usual. Please be patient with the team!
Aside from the immediate weather related catch up, I also want to encourage everyone to make/keep appointments. Scheduled appointments ensures that all clients have adequate time to work with the Nutritionists, Processing Assistants and Breastfeeding Peer Counselors which is a significant benefit of the WIC program. ❤️ Thank you and we look forward to getting everything back on track for everyone!
