Medical Providers
Our medical providers take your child’s medical history, do a physical exam and order lab tests to check for possible medical conditions, like diabetes, liver disease, thyroid issues and cholesterol abnormalities.
Registered Dietitians
Our dietitians look at your child’s growth trends, food intake and eating behaviors. Dietitians discuss areas where change may be beneficial and offer counseling and support to help your child make steady progress toward their goals.

Social Workers
Your social worker will meet with you every other month to address common issues families face around nutrition and exercise. We will work with you to support your child in making sustainable changes and help identify solutions. Social workers can also help families find fresh fruit and vegetables in their community, get connected to community behavioral health resources and identify financial resources such as help with bills, rent and food stamps.
