This is an innovative collaboration between the Public Health Institute at Denver Health, Denver Health (DH) and Denver WIC to streamline WIC education, enrollment, and benefits for DH patients and families. The program is designed to boost the number of eligible but not currently enrolled (EBNE) individuals in the WIC program.
