★★★★★3.5 (24)- ★★★★★Michele WilliamsGoogle
Single working mother of two goes in for wic for her baby. Accidentally leaves wallet. Calls, no one turned it in. She drives 25 miles back to look for it. Finds it in the lab room. Just want to let y'all know you are working with lying, thieving, "people" (keeping it PG). All her money was taken out! Not much to some but it is to a single mom.

They have been a part of my life since I was a teenager getting birth control. Now I am a mom and their wic program helps our family so much. Grateful to have the facility.

Staff was extremely helpful and kind! The nurse I spoke to was a wonderful person, and incredibly sweet. I signed my 2 boys up for wic, one of which is a newborn, and had absolutely no complications at all with the process. All around great experience! First time in my life that I've left a medical facility with a smile on my face.
