Louisiana Revives WIC Enrollment | New Orleans News

Louisiana is urgently ramping up efforts to get 100,000 eligible residents enrolled in WIC—critical for moms and kids—but past mismanagement cost the state over $111 million. With clinics falling short on outreach and calls going unanswered, the state is now rolling out electronic benefits cards, mobile teams, and direct outreach to Medicaid members. The payoff? Every dollar spent on prenatal WIC saves $1.77 to $3.13 in future healthcare costs. Enrollment is already climbing, and expansion is underway to hit communities hardest hit by the gap.
