Bilingual
Support
 As our county population changes, we must
assure that our nutrition services are accessible to all—To assure Hmong
county residents have the same access to WIC services as well as other
nutrition programs, we have a trained bilingual WIC certifier and breastfeeding
peer counselor/educator, as well as a Hmong Registered Dietitian on staff.
Through grants we have produced 2 nutrition videos for
the Hmong living in La Crosse. Pathway to Good Health for Hmong
provides practical information about how healthy eating and an active
lifestyle can help to prevent chronic disease. Folic Acid for Healthy
Babies provides information to women of child bearing age as to how they
can either consume folic acid rich foods or take a folic acid supplement to
assure they consume adequate amounts of this important nutrient each day to
help prevent birth defects.
For information on ordering either of these videos
contact Maomoua Vue, RD at
vue.maomoua@co.la-crosse.wi.us or 785-5888.
The Nutrition Division is an equal opportunity provider and works with families to meet the
needs of languages other than English and Hmong. Interpreters are provided
through local agencies as needed.
