Describe three key features of the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Community Innovation and Outreach (CIAO) project at Fort Campbell, including its novel use of administrative data. Evaluate the outcomes and lessons learned from opening the Fort Bragg WIC Office, a joint effort between Fort Bragg and Cumberland County Department of Public Health. Following a process similar to one being implemented at Fort Campbell, use a new WIC eligibility screening tool to identify Service members and military families who may be eligible for WIC. Describe how military practitioners successfully engaged community partners when developing a robust resource, the Fort Drum Food Resource Guide, to disseminate food security information.

The Defense Department (DOD) published the Food Security Strategy and Roadmap in July 2022 which outlined six lines of effort to strengthen food security for service members and their families. Since that time, the DOD has taken many actions to increase food affordability and improve nutrition security for service members and their families. This roundtable will highlight specific strategies implemented at Fort Campbell, Fort Drum and Fort Bragg. Attend this webinar to hear directly from registered dietitians, researchers and other health professionals working on these installations and learn how they fostered relationship building and leveraged partnerships to implement their programs. This webinar roundtable format will allow additional time for audience questions and interaction so that attendees can learn how to implement similar programs on their installation or in their workplace.
