What is the Obesity Clinic?

This Obesity Clinic is intended to provide the family and consumer both education and support regarding health and obesity concerns. The Obesity Clinic conducts research and implements behaviorally based inter-ventions, as well as educational and training opportunities for families on the topics of nutrition and health. Assessment, consultation, training and case management/treatment survivability are implemented. A variety of consultation and supportive formats are employed (i.e., one-on-one, group, and multidisciplinary team consisting of a medical doctor, nutritionist, board certified behavior analyst, and school personnel).

What do Families Learn?

Families are educated and taught methods on topics such as how to contain and monitor caloric intake, how to choose alternative methods of cooking and alternative foods to consume, how to manipulate exercise levels, and most importantly, how to maintain treatment survivability and the management of behaviors over time.

Multi-Disciplinary Approach

CPC works closely with nutritionists and medical doctors to support their nutritional and medical recommendations by providing self management strategies to ensure the patient’s compliance with the treatment.
