Monday Update July 15th / Lucille packard weight control program


We have been very busy with out well child exams and lots of newborn visits. If you need a check up this summer PLEASE call in advance for an appointment.

Most of my acute care calls today have been about rashes. For some reason I have had quite a few children with blotchy faces ( cheeks and chins). The kids all seem reasonably well except for these rashes.

We were just given information about a weight control program down at Stanford
If you know someone who might benefit for this, the information is as follows:



Registration for the Packard Children’s Weight Control Program’s fall groups for 8-15 year olds is now in process.
(No physician’s referral needed, please ask interested families to call(650) 724-5611).
We will have two class options, 4:30-6:00pm, and 6:00-7:30 pm. Classes will run every Monday for six months.

Our program has been recognized both nationally and internationally for its success in helping kids reduce their overweight and ultimately reducing their chances of having related health concerns such as diabetes in the future.  Please forward the information below to any interested families. Thank you!


To be added to our enrollment list, please have families email us as soon as possible, or call us at 650-724-5611.
Spaces are limited and we are enrolling on a first come, first serve basis.


Have a healthy week
Judy
