Photo Shoots at WIC ClinicsBy Katie Rottner

Last week I had the privilege of visiting two WIC clinics in the SanFrancisco Bay Area Along with Nissa Brehmer an incrediblephotographer who specializes in breastfeeding photography I was

proud to represent the wichealth team at WIC Clinics in Hayward andOakland California Together we conducted a series of photo shootsdesigned to capture the early days of breastfeeding These images willbe used in our upcoming Infant Feeding series on wichealthorg

Working with real WIC momswho volunteered to be part ofthe photo project we capturedlatches breastfeeding holdshunger cues fullness cues lightsleep deep sleep babywearingmomshytoshymom support and somuch more

The moms (and their families) were an absolute joy to work with andwe were so happy to be able to represent real WIC momsexperiencing the real emotions of early motherhood We could not have done this work without the support of the WICcommunity It was truly a team effort made possible not only with helpfrom the amazing WIC moms but also from WIC representatives atthe state level local area clinic nutritionists and lactation consultants

Keep an eye out for these photos in our 6-part Infant Feedingseries coming soon

New Option in User Profile

Many of our state partners require one lesson be completed for eachWIC participant in the family in order to receive benefits In the past itwas necessary for each individual to have their own wichealth accountin order to track lesson completions However this was oftenconfusing for clients shy not to mention the number of usernames andpasswords of which to keep track Due to a special request by our new partner Osage Nation users cannow create one account based on the Household ID and add multiplemembers of the family under the user profile An additional field (WICID or Last Name) can be added to the user profile to distinguishbetween multiple family members living in the same household

How Does It Work The user enters the WIC ID or last name for each family memberwhen completing the profile On the end of lesson survey the userselects for whom they are completing the lesson from the list of familymembers they added when creating their profile The information canthen be pulled onto the certificate or to the state MIS for the partnersusing Quick Connect If you have any questions regarding the new option contactkimbraquinnwmichedu

Site Design shy Weve slowly been getting a handle on our site colorpalette Paring down colors to a more manageable palette (wehad far too many versions of green and gray throughout our site)and creating a design system that allows for colors to be easilyswapped out when we create new instances of our platform

QuickConnect shy Answers submitted on the user profile or surveycan now be included within a QuickConnect data pull This wasbuilt to fulfill a need by Osage Nation but can be used for anypartner QuickConnect is the service that allows our partners topull wichealth data into their own state WIC system

Gatekeeper shy The support site is now controllable via thegatekeeper This means we can control which sections of thesupport site are available to different groups of staff Thefollowing support areas can now be turned on or off viagatekeeper Client Search Reports as a whole (individual reports

New Option in User Profile

Many of our state partners require one lesson be completed for eachWIC participant in the family in order to receive benefits In the past itwas necessary for each individual to have their own wichealth accountin order to track lesson completions However this was oftenconfusing for clients shy not to mention the number of usernames andpasswords of which to keep track Due to a special request by our new partner Osage Nation users cannow create one account based on the Household ID and add multiplemembers of the family under the user profile An additional field (WICID or Last Name) can be added to the user profile to distinguishbetween multiple family members living in the same household

How Does It Work The user enters the WIC ID or last name for each family memberwhen completing the profile On the end of lesson survey the userselects for whom they are completing the lesson from the list of familymembers they added when creating their profile The information canthen be pulled onto the certificate or to the state MIS for the partnersusing Quick Connect If you have any questions regarding the new option contactkimbraquinnwmichedu
