"High Desert residents have in the past had to travel long
distances to obtain services," Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt said in a statement. "It's especially important that we ensure
nearby access to services for children."
The Women, Infants, and Children Program is a nutrition
education and food supplement program that helps lower-income pregnant women,
new mothers, infants and young children eat well and stay healthy.
The County Public Health Department also offers Women, Infant and Children
nutrition services in Barstow, Ft. Irwin and Twentynine Palms and contracts with
other agencies to provide services in the Trona and Needles areas.
