About
Concerned About Your Child’s Weight? LPCH Classes Start Soon!!
The Packard Pediatric Weight Control Program (PPWCP) is a family-based, group behavioral and educational program. It promotes lifelong healthy eating and exercise habits for overweight children, adolescents and their families.
It is part of the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH) Center for Healthy Weight. The program was created by experts with experience treating overweight children.
Since 1999, over 80% of participants have lost weight - parents participate and have lost weight too!
The PPWCP offers age-specific programs for:
• Children ages 8-12 (groups offered in both English and Spanish)
• Adolescents ages 13-15 (groups offered in English).
Sessions are ongoing. We currently are enrolling for limited spaces. Pre-registration is required. The program is a six-month long program that meets weekly. Financial assistance is available. Classes are available in both English and Spanish.
For more information, please call Cindy Zedeck, Program Director at 650-725-4424. http://pediatricweightcontrol.lpch.org
