We Can! is a family-centered pediatric obesity program that implements an evidence-based curriculum created through NIH. The program is open to both children and their parents that access care at Upper Cardozo Health Center. In order to participate in the program, children are referred by their primary care providers. Sessions are held weekly on Wednesday evenings and focus on engaging participants in fitness activities and education on healthy eating choices. Other wellness activities include yoga, meditation, group support, and even a massage therapy pilot program to augment the effects of the program.
