Share:

Hawaii Children’s Action Network (HCAN) aimed  to increase WIC awareness, enrollment, and retention by reducing or eliminating cultural, linguistic, and information barriers among families across the State of Hawaii. 

With guidance from a Family Leadership Council and ongoing focus groups and surveys, HCAN e developed and promoted materials that reduced  barriers to WIC enrollment. 

Their partnerships with non-profit health communications organizations and a Hawaii statewide coalition of organizations  aided in dissemination and project development. 

 HCAN’s WIC awareness, eligibility, enrollment, and retention materials are readily accessible to the WIC network throughout Hawaii, the continental U.S., and U.S. territories.
