Virtual Clinic Option
We will offer a virtual clinic, as of 4/28 it will be called TeleWIC Appointment. One of the advantages to this virtual clinic is that within the My MN WIC Mobile App messages section, where a participant can see a list of their appointments, it will display TeleWIC Appointment instead of the clinic address.
If you would like to add the TeleWIC Appointment Clinic please complete the Change Grantees, Agencies or Clinics in IS and/or on MDH Website. Under the Reason/Justification section note that you want access added for your staff.
For more information, please see the April WIC Local Agency Conference Call summary.
