Please be patient with us….we got new phones in the clinic last week. We have received several calls that we haven’t been returning your messages. We we are unable to access voicemails at this time. When we do call it is also not showing as our clinic, but the regular Hope Center with their number. If you call that number back they will transfer your call to us. Just know we are not ignoring you and are doing our best to provide your WIC services!

Oklahoma passed new legislation in 2020 allowing State Employees paid breaks to express milk or breastfeed. Legislation was also passed in 2021 which allows Public School Employees paid, protected break time to express milk. School districts shall make a reasonable effort to provide a private, secure and sanitary room where an employee can express milk or breastfeed. Oklahoma WIC supports breastfeeding mothers. WIC offers a breast pump program for WIC breastfeeding participants who qualify. Not on WIC?
