Fit Families

FIT FAMILIES is a family-based, pediatric weight management program for overweight children ages 6 to 14. The program is designed for success by involving family members, health care experts and reliable scientifically-based education to lead you and your child on the journey to better health. The aim of the program is to educate the entire family on how to make positive lifestyle changes that will be life-long and improve overall health. Healthy eating, physical activity and positive self-esteem will be the primary focus throughout the 10-week program. The Diabetes and Glandular Disease Clinic will be hosting this exciting and life-changing program.

FIT FAMILIES' goal is to educate young people for a healthier tomorrow. In the last 20 years, we have seen a dramatic increase in adult obesity. Our goal is to help families in Texas to grow up strong and healthy to avoid the complications of obesity in the future.
