The Oakland County Walled Lake Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) office will relocate to 1010 E. West Maple Road in Walled Lake beginning Sept. 5. The new office will be east of Pontiac Trail in the same building as Easterseals. The move comes after the announcement of the Walled Lake Community Education Center’s closing.
“We are excited about our new location and to continue serving our families in the Walled Lake area,” said Leigh-Anne Stafford, health officer for the Oakland County Health Division. “Our clients will not experience a lapse in their services due to this move.”
WIC provides free nutritious foods, nutrition education, breastfeeding support and peer counseling, and referrals to community services for those that qualify. The federally funded program is available to income eligible pregnant, breastfeeding, or postpartum women, and to children up to age five. Additional WIC offices are located at Oakland County Health Division offices in Pontiac and Southfield:
• North Oakland Health Center, 1200 N. Telegraph, Building 34E, Pontiac
• South Oakland Health Center, 27725 Greenfield Road, Southfield
Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency (OLHSA) also offers Oakland County WIC locations in Addison Township, Holly, Madison Heights, Pontiac, and West Bloomfield.
“We are proud to partner with the Oakland County WIC program”, said Easterseals Michigan’s president and CEO, Brent Wirth. “This innovative collaboration provides an integrated approach to behavioral health and nutrition services that will better address health disparities of children, adults and families in Oakland County.”
