Our Healthy You for Life program, developed in 2001, helps overweight children avoid the medical complications associated with childhood obesity.

Children who weigh more than they should risk serious health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol.

Self-esteem and body image can also suffer.

In our program, parents and children work together, focusing on all aspects of weight management, including:

  • Diet and food planning
  • Physical activity
  • Emotional support

The program involves medical clinic visits with year-long follow-up.
