The Antelope Valley Hospital - Palmdale WIC program is a federally funded initiative designed to promote good nutrition among pregnant and breastfeeding women, infants, and children under five years of age in the Antelope Valley region. By providing access to nutritious foods, nutrition education, and referrals to health care resources, the program aims to improve maternal and child health outcomes.

With goals focused on reducing pregnancy complications, the incidence of low birth weight, and iron deficiency anemia, the program emphasizes the importance of healthy eating and physical activity to combat obesity. Eligibility for benefits is determined by income levels and residency within the designated service area, as well as medical or nutritional risk as assessed by healthcare professionals.
