Humble WIC Clinic Moves to New Location

 

Harris County Public Health & Environmental Services (HCPHES) is pleased to announce the move of their Humble WIC Center to a new, larger location effective October 12, 2009.  Previously, the WIC Program operated at the Humble Health Center at 1730 Humble Place Drive.  The new location is 8950 Will Clayton Parkway, Suite A, Humble, TX 77338.

 

“The request for our services has been growing greatly, therefore, we are very excited by the opportunity to serve our Humble area clients in a new, spacious facility offering a large parking lot.” stated Christie Kennedy, HCPHES WIC Director.

 

The hours of operation will remain the same as at the older location until January, when hours will be extended. For additional information or to make an appointment, call (281) 446-5207.
