Trending...
The Springfield-Greene County WIC clinic located at 1720 W Grand St will close to the public and begin a relocation process on Dec. 24, 2024. The new location, located at 1111 S Glenstone Ave, will open to WIC members beginning Jan. 6, 2025.

"The new location on Glenstone will provide more clinic space for WIC staff and Members to utilize, and it allows us to bring WIC services to a more central location in Greene County," said Tara Williams, WIC Program Coordinator. "The decision to move was made with WIC Members in mind, and we are looking forward to providing services at the new location in 2025."

The Grand clinic will remain open until 5 p.m. on Dec. 24. During the relocation process, WIC members can receive services at the West Kearney and Republic clinics and various satellite locations. Location information and hours of operation can be found at wicworks417.org.
