The Rhode Island Department of Health (HEALTH) wants to inform Pawtucket and Central Falls Women Infant and Children (WIC) clients that as of Monday, February 2, 2009, WIC services will be available at new locations.
On a temporary basis, Blackstone Valley Community Health Center (BVCHC) WIC clients can pick up WIC checks at the Rhode Island Parent Information Network (RIPIN) office, 175 Main Street, Pawtucket 401-727-4144 or at any other WIC site in the state. (English and Spanish staff is available at RIPIN.)
HEALTH is in the process of establishing permanent WIC sites in Pawtucket and Central Falls. Any BVCHC clients who were in the process of enrolling in WIC should call HEALTH’s Information Line at 1-800-942-434 to be redirected to another WIC site.
