Keeping your Family Healthy

It takes a village! We’re here to help you and your family live a healthy lifestyle. WIC doesn’t just provide free food, we provide families with individual nutrition counseling and education with experts in the field of nutrition and dietetics.

Difference Between RDN and LDN

An RDN is a registered dietitian nutritionist and an LDN is a licensed dietitian nutritionist.

They are food and nutrition experts who have met academic and professional requirements including a bachelor’s and master’s degree in nutrition and dietetics, completed an accredited supervised internship of over 1,200 hours, and completed a national examination with continuing education requirements.

Nutrition Educators at WIC

At WIC you can count on a nutrition educator to guide and help your family set healthy eating goals. A nutrition educator has successfully completed a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in nutrition and dietetics or related field.

Setting Goals as a Family

Eating healthy benefits the whole family. We know it may be challenging to feed your family healthy meals. You may have a picky eater or a child with food allergies. Let DOH-Miami-Dade WIC help you and your family face these challenges.

We’re here for you. You got this.
