Weight-Loss Treatment
For children who are overweight or obese, Children’s offers two weight-loss programs that provide comprehensive support. Both programs aim to help children and families achieve healthy lifestyles. Because the programs offer specialized care, there are specific criteria that need to be met to be seen, including a BMI of more than 95 percent.
The two treatment programs are:
- IDEAL Clinic: For children ages 2 – 18 who have been classified as obese, this clinic offers personalized, multidisciplinary intervention and treatment for children and their families.
- Weight-Loss Surgery Program: For adolescents who have been classified as morbidly obese and have other health conditions caused by obesity, weight-loss surgery may be an appropriate treatment.
