This spring, Children's Hospital Boston
physicians, in
collaboration with Pediatric Weight Management Centers, LLC, will open the
first of multiple centers that will provide
medically supervised, family-based weight management
programs for children 6 to 18. The first branch, in Newton, will offer a gym,
kitchen for cooking demonstrations and rooms for exams and group support.
On-site physicians, nutritionists, behavioral specialists and exercise physiologists will employ many of the clinical strategies developed at Children's Optimal Weight for Life Program.
