What is the Healthy Living Program?

CPCMG says the Healthy Living Program, formerly known as the WELL Clinic, supports families in changing habits in nutrition, physical activity, sleep, screen time and social and emotional wellbeing, and that patients are referred by their primary care clinician[1]. It is described as part of the Childhood Obesity Initiative of San Diego[1].

What are Healthy Living Visits?

CPCMG describes a 6 to 12 month program with monthly appointments, either with the family’s own pediatrician or a pediatrician in the region, in person or by telehealth, or by telemedicine with a specialty clinician at La Costa. CPCMG says the visits are for patients “of all ages who have a BMI of 85% or greater” and that medication “may be an option”[1]. This wiki does not give medical advice; a family’s clinician decides what is appropriate.
