The Lincoln County Health and Human Services’ project aimed to reduce disparities and increase WIC enrollment in Lincoln County, Oregon. 

The project strengthened partnerships between healthcare providers and community-based organizations and employed innovative outreach strategies that included expanding satellite clinics, offering dental services once a month to WIC clients, increasing the number of Certified/Qualified Medical Interpreters, and creating radio and television ads, and ads on relevant platforms such as WhatsApp. 

Lessons learned from streamlining communication and referral processes between community-based organizations and professional healthcare organizations can be adapted by other communities.
