How to Use the IL eWIC BNFT App:
Cooking Up Change in Chicago (CUCC)
Cooking Up Change is a participant-centered nutrition education program at Near North Health. The program empowers and educates a person to establish and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Each participant receives training in nutrition, food safety, healthy cooking and food budgeting. The Cooking Up Change staff who do the training and coaching are nutritionists, culinary experts, fitness instructors and gardeners.
Clinical Nutrition
NNHSC's registered dietitian provides both individual and group nutrition counseling and follow up to clients (adults and children) in need of nutritional therapy for weight management and other conditions to include but not limited to diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and HIV/AIDS.
Breastfeeding Peer Counseling Program
This peer counseling program provides each WIC participant the education and support she/they need to achieve their breastfeeding-related goals. NNH uses "Loving Support Through Peer Counseling: A Journey Together," a training curriculum developed by USDA Food and Nutrition Service. We combine peer counseling with ongoing breastfeeding support to help the participant explore breastfeeding, and if desired, keep breastfeeding as long and as comfortably as possible.
Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
The WIC program provides nutrition education, nutritious foods, breastfeeding support and referrals to health care and other social services to infants, children under the age of five, pregnant women, breastfeeding women and postpartum women. Please call or visit one of our WIC locations nearest you.
