Managing Obesity
Currently, the Center for Healthy Weight and Nutrition only accepts patients with a BMI of 95% and above. If your child does not meet that requirement, we cannot schedule an appointment. However, we understand you have a child that needs help. Please find resources below that will assist in managing your child’s needs.
-
Follow up with your child’s primary care physician. If you do not have a primary care physician, you may search for a physician or call our referral service at (614) 722-KIDS, (800) 875-KIDS.
