The Board of Health has been awarded an additional grant award of $191,395, for a total grant award in an amount of $3,697,440 in grant funds from the Ohio Department of Health to fund the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program for the period October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004. The Columbus Health Department has been designated as the primary grantee agency and administrator for all WIC programs in Franklin County. The grant funds awarded provide for an increased contract with Children's Hospital for an additional amount not to exceed $28,000, and for a total contract amount not to exceed $333,022, for the operation of a WIC clinic at their facility.
