Treatment Approach
The CBHN serves overweight and obese children and teens with a body mass index (BMI) at the 85th percentile or above. BMI is used to determine if your child or teen is at a healthy weight for their age and height.
Our approach to treating obesity is unique. We pull together experts from a wide range of specialties including:
- General Pediatrics
- Endocrinology
- Cardiology
- Pulmonary
- Gastroenterology
- Adolescent Medicine
- Exercise Physiology
- Nutrition
- Nursing
- Psychology
- Social Work
As part of your child or teen's care plan, he or she, along with the rest of family, will receive nutrition counseling as well as fun, non-competitive group exercise classes and the opportunity to join our Fun2BFit program with the YMCA.
You can also check out our Healthy Living Series videos on YouTube for great tips on nutrition, physical activity, and healthy habits.
