Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) ADHS14-053052 Amendment 2 for WIC Services; Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program (BFPC); and the Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program (FMNP), between the Arizona Department of Health Services and the Cochise County Health Department in the amount of $581,930; $48,500; and “as needed”, respectively, for the period of October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016.
Background:
The WIC Program is a supplemental nutrition program for income-eligible women, infants, and children. The WIC Program provides income eligible families with nutrition education and referrals to social services within the County. The Program also provides food vouchers to clients for a variety of nutritionally healthy staple foods, including: juice, milk, eggs, peanut butter, and beans.
The Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program provides counseling and support services that complement the WIC-provided breastfeeding education by allowing for additional, more in-depth education by a peer counselor trained through a breastfeeding curriculum. The goal of the BFPC program is to increase the incidence and duration of breastfeeding for all breastfeeding women in Cochise County.
The Farmers Market Nutrition Program is intended to increase consumption of locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables by providing FMNP checks to a limited number of WIC women and children to purchase these items directly from growers at ADHS-approved farmers’ markets in Cochise County.
IGA ADHS14-053052 is based on an annual caseload of 3,500 annually.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Continue providing these much needed services to the residents of Cochise County.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
The WIC Program has provided nutrition services to low income families in Cochise County for over 30 years. Approximately 3,500 county residents would be impacted by the discontinuation of the WIC Program. During these tough economic times Cochise County families are depending on the WIC Program to help meet their nutritional needs.
