IHC WIC cares about you and your health. We are taking steps to decrease your potential for exposure to COVID-19 and complying with the recommendations from the CDC and ISDH.

Effective immediately, ALL WIC appointments will be completed over the phone, including the issuing of benefits. (WIC benefits do not automatically load to your WIC e-card)

This includes appointments for both new and established WIC clients. We will be calling you around the time of your scheduled appointment, so please watch for a call from Indiana Health Centers. During these appointments, we will be asking the usual questions and offering the same education as you’d receive in person.

We are asking everyone to refrain from visiting our WIC offices, and to call us instead.

  • All non-emergency dental services will be cancelled beginning 3/17/20. Dental emergencies will be assessed by a dentist on site.
  • All patients aged 60 and over are encouraged to postpone appointments. If you feel that you need to see a provider, please call and we will assess your symptoms. IHC staff will continue to send refills for prescriptions.
  • All walk-in hours are temporarily discontinued, to help keep well patients from being exposed to sick patients.
  • Well patient visits (and routine follow-up visits) will be scheduled for morning appointments.
  • Sick patient visits will be scheduled in the afternoons.
  • Only one parent should accompany a pediatric patient, and no other siblings should attend.
  • No extra people should accompany a patient to an appointment unless the patient requires assistance.
