Celia Nabor, MPA, Bureau Chief of Nutrition and Physical Activity (BNPA) & Arizona WIC Director, Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS). Celia also serves an ADHS coach for the lean focused Arizona Management System (AMS).

An array of services are administered through BNPA, which include direct services, such as provision of supplemental foods, nutrition education, and peer support, as well as an increasing emphasis on policy, systems, and environmental change.

Celia provides administrative oversight of the federally funded Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). WIC provides nutrition education, supplemental foods, breastfeeding support, and connections to community services to almost 140,000 women, infants, and children each month with services provided at 119 clinics throughout the State.


Webinar Description: The Arizona WIC Program recently transitioned from paper to an electronic platform for benefit issuance. eWIC significantly improves the shopping experience, increases efficiencies, provides data  analytics for administrators, and streamlines stakeholder processes.
