Enrollment
Enrollment is easy! Children 4-18 years of age, who are greater than or equal to 85th percentile for Body Mass Index, are eligible to enroll in the program. If your child's primary care physicians recommend Healthy Kids, Healthy Weight, they will provide you with some basic program information. If after reviewing the information the program sounds right for your child, your primary care physician can provide you with a referral and ask you to call one of our team members at (216) 844-1966. We will answer your program questions and mail a registration packet to you.
Evaluation
Once your completed packet has been received at our office, a team member will contact you with information regarding the scheduling of your child's medical evaluation. This component of the program includes a complete medical and psychological evaluation and consultations with the program's dietician and excercise physiologist. The evaluation is designed to understand the causes of your child's weight issues and the effects that they have on his/her health. You primary care physician will receive a full report of the recommendations.
