Pilkington, fIealth Director <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Fred Pilkington <br /> <br />Cindy Walker, Allied Health Director~,'~''\ <br /> <br />DATE: January 10, 1992 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Justification for New Position <br /> <br />The Cabarrus County WIC Program has recently been granted an increase <br />in case load from 1,228 to 1,378, with a subsequent increase in funding <br />of $7,335.00. Because of the increase of 150 participants monthly, I <br />am requesting a parttime Nutritionist I. This person would help with <br />the additional nutritional assessments, counseling, and education of <br />those pregnant and post-partum women, infants, and children who may be <br />eligible for the WIC Program. <br /> <br />Increasing the rate and duration of breastfeeding is a national, state, <br />and local goal of the WIC Program. With this new position, more emphasis <br />could be placed on increasing the number of women who breastfeed and <br />appropriate follow-up could increase the duration of the breastfeeding. <br /> <br />In a few months, one of the WIC nutritionists will be going on maternity <br />leave. This new position would also help fill in during the other <br />nutritionist's absence. <br /> <br />CW:bs <br /> <br />Equa! O?portunity/Affirma~iv¢ Action Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
