As part of the celebration for National Health Center Week 2025, Clinica Sierra Vista is proud to share a moment of recognition that reflects our mission and commitment to the communities we serve.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) has recognized Clinica Sierra Vista’s commitment to providing accessible, high-quality care, particularly for underserved populations.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of America’s Health Centers, making the acknowledgment especially meaningful. The theme, “America’s Health Centers: Celebrating Past, Present, and Future,” resonates deeply with both Clinica Sierra Vista and the American Cancer Society. Our shared vision is clear: to ensure that everyone—regardless of income, insurance status, or background—has access to the care, education, and support they need to live healthier, longer lives.

Do I Qualify for WIC?

WIC is a program that helps families with food and nutrition. Call us at (661) 862-5422 or send a message, and we’ll help you see if you qualify.

Here are some ways you might qualify:

  • You are pregnant
  • You are breastfeeding a baby who is less than one year old
  • You had a baby in the last six months
  • You have a child who is under the age of five
  • You experienced a loss of pregnancy or had a termination

You also need to think about your family’s income. Here are the monthly income limits for family sizes:

  • 1 Person: $2,413
  • 2 Persons: $3,261
  • 3 Persons: $4,109
  • 4 Persons: $4,957

This income limit is based on 185% of the Federal Poverty Level, and these amounts will be effective from April 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026.

Also, if you’re pregnant, the baby counts as part of your family size when figuring out if you qualify.
