2026年6月17日，姆爾特諾馬郡在奧勒岡州波特蘭市開設了一家全新的WIC AVIVA診所，這標誌著當地公共衛生服務的一大進展。
On June 17, 2026, Multnomah County opened a new WIC AVIVA clinic in Portland, Oregon, marking a major boost for local public health.
該現代化設施位於東南第187大道427號，取代了原本空間已不足以應付社區需求的Gateway診所。
Located at 427 S.E. 187th Ave., this modern facility replaces the former Gateway clinic, which had become too small for the community's needs.
該診所為孕婦及有五歲以下兒童的家庭提供關鍵的營養服務、母乳哺育支援和健康轉診。
The clinic provides vital nutrition services, breastfeeding support, and health referrals for pregnant individuals and families with children under five.
AVIVA診所的設計著重於無障礙性，面積是前身的兩倍以上，內部設有適合團體課程的大型房間，以及能容納較多人口大家庭的專門區域。
Designed with a focus on accessibility, the AVIVA clinic is more than double the size of its predecessor.
姆爾特諾馬郡擁有奧勒岡州最大的WIC客戶群，2025年服務超過2萬人。
It features large rooms for group classes and specialized areas to accommodate larger families.
官員們希望藉由將此診所直接設置於社區中，能建立更強大的安全網，確保當地兒童獲得成長所需的營養與支援。
Multnomah County, which has the largest WIC client base in Oregon, served over 20,000 people in 2025.
正如公共衛生局局長克絲汀·艾爾德所言，這個新據點致力於支援家庭並促進長期的糧食安全。
By embedding this clinic directly into the neighborhood, officials hope to create a stronger safety net, ensuring local children have the nutrition and support they need to thrive.
