Eligibility and verification of the pregnancy can be determined at the Cudahy Health Department so medical care can begin immediately.

Appointments are necessary.
Age-appropriate children who attend the Cudahy WIC Clinic can also obtain a free screening for lead poisoning at the time of their WIC appointment. If your child has any elevated blood lead level, Public Health Nurses will provide you with the necessary information and referrals. There is a Hepa vacuum cleaner and supplies available for any Cudahy resident who would like to do simple lead abatement in their homes. A security deposit is necessary to borrow the Hepa vacuum.
