Healthy Beginnings

If you need help getting your family into shape, Children's Hospital Colorado offers the region’s leading pediatric weight management programs, including the GoodLI FE Clinic for overweight and obese infants, toddlers, school-age children and adolescents and the SH APEDOWN ® Clinic for childhood and adolescent overweight and obesity issues.

“Parents have limited time to spend with their kids before they leave the ‘nest,’ and busy parents may not realize they are missing a great opportunity to connect with their kids through exercise,” said Marilyn Day, MS, RD, Co-Director of Preventive Programs and Coordinator of the SHAPEDOWN® Clinic at Children's Hospital Colorado Heart Institute. “One aspect of the SHAPEDOWN Clinic that families really enjoy is playing active games together. It’s enriching for everyone, both physically and emotionally.”

Children's Hospital Colorado offers various weight management programs. To understand which program is best for you and your family, contact our Weight Management Nurse Coordinator at (720) 777-3352.
