Countdown to a Healthy ME @ Maine Pediatric Specialty Group

 

Contact: Tracy Cardelli, RD, CDE, CNSD

E-mail: cardet@mmc.org

Website: None

The goal of Countdown to a Healthy ME is to educate children on healthier lifestyle habits that will help them make better choices, control weight and live healthful and productive lives.

We have a 12 week childhood overweight program that includes an exercise component taught by an Exercise Physiologist. In addition to group walks and workouts the EP has participants track their activity and reviews the log with them each week. As part of our follow-up program we will participate in organized community sporting events/walks. The first walk is a 5K planned for May 20th.
