Healthy Hawks - Primary Care (Stage 1)

The first stage of Healthy Hawks involves your child's primary care physician. Your child becomes a part of Healthy Hawks when his or her Body Mass Index reaches the 85th percentile. A Body Mass Index at or above the 85th percentile puts your child at risk for a number of different healthy problems. At this stage, you will be receiving information about your child's weight and the impact it has on his or her health. Your primary care physician will begin monitoring your child each month and provide you with monthly information as you continue to make changes to help your child live a healthier lifestyle.
