DHHS IT system outages are expected to continue today. Please work with your patients to continue to provide care as best as possible. In addition, as part of the system outages, some WIC families may not be able to access their benefits immediately. NCDHHS wants to ensure that these families are supported as much as possible, especially for those who may need infant formula immediately or urgently today or this weekend. Please consider reaching out to families that are reliant on WIC benefits, particularly infants who rely on formula as their sole source of nutrition. If your office can assist with samples or other resources, that would be appreciated. You can also connect those families with their local WIC agency for additional support.
