WIC Boost: Alabama has raised WIC income guidelines, with more pregnant people, new parents, and caregivers of kids up to age 5 encouraged to apply through county health departments or WIC agencies; benefits include monthly cash for fruits and vegetables plus nutrition education and breastfeeding support. Summer Food Help: Alabama SUN Bucks (Summer EBT) are set to return, providing a one-time $120 per school-aged child for low-income families to buy groceries during summer break; eligible kids may be automatically issued benefits or can apply online if not directly certified. Maternal Care Upgrade: Coosa Valley Medical Center in Sylacauga expanded maternal and infant support through the Safe Sleep Initiative, adding sleep sacks and peanut balls to improve safer-sleep education and newborn care. Sleep Lab Milestone: DCH’s sleep lab in Northport earned 25-year accreditation recognition, highlighting ongoing testing for conditions like sleep apnea and restless legs. Community Health Access: UTC’s MobileMoc clinic is offering free services in Rhea County (June 8) with walk-ins welcome and no insurance required. Public Health & Safety: Alabaster is removing fluoride from its drinking water supply, while Alabama’s Free Fishing Day (June 13) encourages outdoor activity with no fishing license needed. Health System Pressure: A federal appeals court ordered a new hearing for Alabama death row inmate Jeffrey Lee over nitrogen gas execution concerns, citing constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment.
