Fairfax Pediatric Associates is excited to announce an award-winning program to help your child successfully overcome weight issues!

Nearly 1 in 5 children in the United States are overweight or obese. In order to help families to combat weight issues in their children, Fairfax Pediatric Associates has created an award -winning weight management program for kids called The C.H.A.N.G.E. ™ (Children with Health, Activity, and Good Emotions) Program.

Obesity is a multifaceted issue, requiring a multidisciplinary approach. During this program, children and their families work with a pediatrician and/or pediatric nurse practitioner, a registered dietician, a physical therapist, a psychologist and a pediatric cardiologist. This program is an 8-week program where children and parents receive in-depth guidance on weight management, diet, exercise, behavior modification and self-esteem training. The classes are one hour a week in the evenings.
