About 10% of babies are born before 37 weeks in the U.S., and premature babies are at higher risk for both short- and long-term health issues. Research has shown that moms who participate in WIC during pregnancy have improved overall prenatal outcomes and are less likely to deliver prematurely. Expectant moms are eligible to apply for the program as soon as they know they are pregnant. Not on WIC? Apply today at https://osdhcfhs.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b7SmW3uZOS8NsLc?Source=Facebook
