The Surgeon General reports that 13% of American
children are obese. The Centers for
Disease Control have identified obesity as a chronic disease, one that can and
needs to be managed for a lifetime.
Our
physicians believe that obesity that begins in childhood should be addressed as
early in life as possible. The standard programs which will succeed for
adults will not be as successful in children. We are researching the best
way to address these issues in our young patients.
