Community Contacts
When arranging meetings, it works best to email (most are YK emails, unless noted otherwise) or call the week of to arrange a tour. The goal in visiting these different community programs is to understand how they function in the community, along with finding out how you, as a provider, can help patients utilize these programs.
FIT
Family Infant Toddler Program. This program provides PT, OT, and speech services to children under 3 years old, after which they can present through the school system for these services. They usually have a week long therapy service once a month in Bethel. This is a must-do community orientation for first year pediatric residents. It is best to contact them early on with multiple Thursday afternoon options because you can usually observe an afternoon when services are scheduled.
Contact: Melissa Shaw, PT, ext 6193
WIC
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides Federal grants to States for supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five who are found to be at nutritional risk. WIC is located in the West Wing building to the right.

TAAV (Teens Acting Against Violence) meets at TWC on Thursdays at 4:30 pm. When getting an introduction to TWC, it is good to meet around 3:30 pm to tour TWC and CAC, then attend the TAAV meeting to get an introduction to the program.
McCann
