Darlena Birch, MBA, RDN, Senior Manager, Public Health at the National WIC Association (NWA), gives us a glimpse of the current projects and goals to promote and advance racial and healthy equity in public health. Presented amongst the backdrop of the WIC legislative updates from Capitol Hill, it has never been more vital that the inequities in nutrition, breastfeeding, and prenatal and postpartum health outcomes are elevated. The WIC program has always been an innovator in food as medicine and quality nutrition education services, NWA is committed to lending their expertise to ensure that the food insecurity and nationwide racial and health inequities are addressed. Coming through the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the identification of innovative strategies to provide services, resources, and support to millions of women, infant, and young children. Join this webinar to learn more how subject matter experts in nutrition, lactation, research, and policy are raising the bar in public health services and support.
