Healthy Hawks - Group (Stage 3)

Some of the patients seen by KU Pediatrics.
The third stage of Healthy Hawks consists of a weekly group meeting, in addition to the monthly clinic appointment from stage 2. At this stage, you and your family will participate in weekly group meetings with other families like yours in order to treat your child's weight problem more intensely. These meetings will be approximately 2 hours long. They will consist of one hour in which parents and children will meet in spearate groups to discuss information and one hour in which everyone will exercise together under the instruction of our exercise physiologists. Your child is referred to this stage of Healthy Hawks when it is determined in the monthly clinic that this part of the program will be beneficial to your family.
