The Center for Healthy Weight

The Center for Healthy Weight is a comprehensive program designed to prevent and treat overweight and obesity in children and adolescents. We provide children of any age or weight, their families and their communities with the resources, education, support and treatment to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
