One aspect of the program is that we provide incentive gifts to all the women who enroll , these gifts include items for themselves and their newborn. We currently have 96 First Breath sites throughout WI, our sites are different clinics and hospitals that have formally trained a nurse, WIC staff, or health educator in First Breath counseling.
