WIC Services Continue Without Disruption
The South Dakota Department of Health (DOH) confirms that the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program continues to operate as normal.
“There is no disruption to South Dakota WIC services,” said Melissa Magstadt, secretary of health. “Our dedicated WIC team continues to provide support and services to families across the state, and participants should attend their scheduled appointments as usual.”
The DOH is actively monitoring the status of the federal government shutdown and remains in close contact with federal partners. Participants will be notified promptly if any changes occur.
The South Dakota WIC program provides families with healthy foods, nutrition education, breastfeeding support and connections to community resources that help them thrive.
“We understand that times of uncertainty can cause concern,” Magstadt said. “We want to reassure South Dakota families that WIC services remain available and uninterrupted. Our top priority is ensuring families continue to receive the care and nutrition resources they rely on.”
