Weight Management
Healthy lifestyles, healthy families, healthy children
Monroe Carell provides referrals for weight management services depending on your child's conditions.
Children with a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to the 95th percentile for age and sex may have other chronic medical conditions, such as pre-type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia or refractory obstructive sleep apnea. If this is the case with your child, we provide integrated behavioral services in our specialty clinics. This means your family can see multiple specialists within one visit.
