Charlotte, NC – The Mecklenburg County Health Department's Women, Infants and Children (WIC) nutrition program is relocating to a brand new facility in east Charlotte. 

WIC will leave CMC-Northpark at 251 Eastway Drive and the main Health Department at 249 Billingsley Road. The two locations will merge into a combined facility at 5516 Central Avenue, across from Eastland Mall. 

The new building and consolidated staff will allow the Health Department to better meet the needs of customers - more space, enhanced services, and streamlined operations. In addition, the Central Avenue location is on the CATS bus line.

Services will begin at the new location on Monday, April 24. Clinic hours are:

Monday - Wednesday: 7:45 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Thursday: 7:45 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Friday: 7:45 a.m. - 2 p.m.
