EHDI
The West Central Integration Collaborative (WCIC) works with an educational organization that focuses on multicultural projects with the residents of Kandiyohi county.
As a result of our work with students and with the help of health questionnaires, WCIC recognizes the need to provide health programs for our community. Our goal is to help educate in the areas of nutrition, disease prevention, healthy lifestyles, and make known the general health status of our community.
