County, State and UPMC Highlight Innovative WIC Pilot Program
County Executive Rich Fitzgerald was joined by Pennsylvania Department of Health Acting Secretary Dr. Debra L. Bogen, UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital President Richard Beigi, M.D., MSc, and Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) Deputy Director Community & Family Health Dannai Wilson, MS to highlight an innovative pilot program that puts the ACHD Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) staff in direct contact with prospective families. Partnering with UPMC, the county’s WIC Program has two new offices – one at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital and the other at the UPMC General Academic Pediatrics (GAP) office.
The ACHD WIC Program is also taking services on the road. In addition to the nine (9) clinic locations throughout the county, and the two UPMC office sites, the program now has a WIC van. Funded by the Public Health Improvement Fund, the Ford 350 transit van will allow the program to serve participants at community partner sites and other locations, reducing transportation barriers in communities with lower rates of program utilization.
For additional information on the ACHD WIC Program, visit https://www.alleghenycounty.us/Health-Department/Health-Services/Women,-Infants-and-Children/Women-Infants-and-Children-Program.aspx. Interested parties can also schedule an appointment at one of the county’s nine clinics by calling 412-350-5801.

Do you know Pennsylvania's school bus-stopping law? Students are going back to school, so now is a good time to brush up on your school bus safety knowledge to help keep the county's students safe. Always remember to keep an eye out: 1) When a school bus is loading or unloading at an intersection, all traffic must stop 2) Pay attention inside pick-up and drop-off zones 3) Slow down and watch for pedestrians 4) Watch for all the colors of lights – yellow for slowing down and red for stopping Familiarize yourself with Pennsylvania's school bus laws at: http://bit.ly/PASchoolBusSafety
One 12-ounce can of regular soda has 10 teaspoons of added sugars. Rethink your drink and grab water instead. #LiveWellAllegheny #RethinkYourDrink
Are you cutting out pop, but missing fizzy drinks? Try drinking seltzer water and maybe even add a splash of 100% fruit juice or fresh fruit. It really scratches that itch when you are craving carbonation. #LiveWellAllegheny #RethinkYourDrink
Fun fact: You would have to climb Mt. Washington three times to burn off the calories from a 20-ounce bottle of pop. #LiveWellAllegheny #RethinkYourDrink
