YVFWC provides medical care, dental care, behavioral health care and counseling, pharmacy services, community health services and nutritional services to migrant and seasonal farm workers in the states of Washington and Oregon. Located within the same building, is WIC which provides nutritious food, nutrition education and referrals to various other medical providers to pregnant, breastfeeding, post-partum women and families with children under the age of 5.
