Same WIC Benefits. New WIC Provider.
Starting July 1, 2025, SEARHC will transition away from providing WIC (Women, Infants and Children) services as part of our efforts to focus more closely on the core healthcare services we offer to Southeast communities. While SEARHC will no longer issue WIC benefits after June 30, your WIC support will continue without interruption. We look forward to continuing to connect with current WIC families through our Community Wellness programs, nutrition services and our expanded offerings with primary care. No action is needed from you.
SEARHC is pleased to share that the State of Alaska’s Midnight Sun WIC Program will become the new WIC provider for families currently enrolled in the program through SEARHC. To best serve beneficiaries of the program, this transition will happen automatically — you do not need to reapply or take any additional steps beyond verifying your existing information. Your benefits will continue seamlessly, and your current WIC EBT cards will remain active and valid at participating stores as you are used to.
What’s Changing — and What’s Staying the Same
- Same WIC Benefits, New WIC Provider.
- Beginning July 1, 2025, the Midnight Sun WIC Program, operated by the State of Alaska, will take over service delivery.
