Vegetable and Fruit Increase Provides More Nutritional Access to WIC Families
Vegetable and Fruit Increase Provides More Nutritional Access to WIC Families On March 12, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act authorized State WIC Agencies to enhance the WIC benefit for a period of four months, expanding the vegetable and fruit voucher from $9/month for children and $11/month for women to $35/month per participant. WIC’s vegetable and fruit voucher – known as the Cash Value Benefit (CVB) – was first introduced in 2007 as part of a decades-long effort by the National WIC Association (NWA) to increase the nutritional quality of WIC-approved foods. The CVB is credited with improving the dietary quality of WIC participants and reducing the prevalence of childhood obesity among WIC toddlers. North Carolina WIC will be implementing the CVB increase beginning June 1, 2021 until September 30, 2021.

COVID-19 Update to GVPH Clinic Operations
COVID-19 Update to GVPH Clinic Operations Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, our office policies and restrictions will be updated frequently. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause any of our patients. We are doing our best to minimize risks of communicating COVID-19. After careful consideration and guidance from the CDC, NCDHHS and the WHO we will be enacting the following office policies effective March 23,2020: If you have any flu-like symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath or other respiratory symptoms) or you are concerned that you may have been exposed to COVID-19 please do not come to our office. Please first call our office at 919-639-2141 or 252-492-7915 and we can guide you to next steps regarding testing and where to be seen. We are strongly discouraging visitors during your visits. We understand that with many schools released this may not be possible and we will make exceptions on a case by case basis. We will be rescheduling routine annual visits and we encourage you to call and cancel your visits for non-urgent medical needs. We may be able to refill prescriptions as needed when we speak with you. We will be moving some visits to phone and televisits (video). This is a work in progress. We will be contacting you if this is an option for your visit. We will likely adopt a protocol for less frequent prenatal visits suggested by the World Health Organization. We will call you if we plan on rescheduling your appointment. Please rest assured that we will not reschedule your visit if we feel like this is, in any way, unsafe for you or your baby. Please know that we are doing our very best to ensure the safety and well-being of our patients and their families. Thank you for understanding. Debido a la pandemia actual de COVID-19, las políticas y restricciones de nuestra oficina se actualizarán con frecuencia. Nos disculpamos de antemano de cualquier inconveniencia que esto puede causar a nuestros pacientes. Estamos haciendo todo lo posible para minimizar los riesgos de transmitir el coronavirus (COVID-19). Después de una cuidadosa consideración y orientación del CDC, NCDHHS y la OMS, promulgaremos las siguientes políticas de la oficina a partir del 23 de marzo de 2020: Si tiene síntomas similares a los de la gripe (fiebre, tos, dificultad para respirar u otros síntomas respiratorios) o le preocupa que haya estado expuesto a COVID-19, no venga a nuestra oficina. Primero llame a nuestra oficina al 919-639-2141 o al 252-492-7915 y podemos guiarlo a los siguientes pasos con respecto a las pruebas y dónde podrán atenderlo. No recomendamos que otras personas acompañen al paciente a sus citas. Entendemos que debido a que muchas escuelas han cancelado sus clases esto puede no ser posible para algunos y hemos considerado hacer algunas excepciones. Reprogramaremos las visitas anuales de rutina y lo alentamos a que llame y cancele sus visitas de necesidad médica que no sean urgentes. Es posible que podamos volver a surtir recetas cuando sea necesario cuando hablemos con usted. Vamos a trasladar algunas visitas a teléfono o por video. Este es un trabajo en progreso. Nos pondremos en contacto con usted si esta es una opción para su visita. Es probable que adoptemos un protocolo para visitas prenatales menos frecuentes sugerido por la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Le llamaremos si planeamos reprogramar su cita. Tenga la seguridad de que no reprogramaremos su visita si consideramos que esto no es seguro para usted o su bebé. Tenga en cuenta que estamos haciendo todo lo posible para garantizar la seguridad y el bienestar de nuestros pacientes y sus familias. Gracias por su comprensión en estos momentos.
