The District 2 Public Health page lists the District WIC Clinic phone number as 1-888-371-9288. Because WIC services are appointment-based, residents should call before visiting to confirm eligibility documents, appointment availability and current clinic instructions.
Womenâs health, family planning and cancer screening services
The official womenâs health page says these services are by appointment only. Listed services include family planning education, physical exams, counseling, minor gynecological treatments, various birth-control methods, prenatal case management for eligible Medicaid patients, cancer screenings and mammogram referrals.
The page also lists a Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention Program for low-income women without insurance. Since womenâs health appointments can involve eligibility, records and time-sensitive follow-up, calling the clinic before visiting is essential.
