Kids Heart and Sole program
The Kids Heart & Sole Program specifically targets RoxComp pediatric patients ages 7-17 who are at or above the 85 percentile of the body mass index (BMI) for their age. The goal of RoxComp’s Kids Heart and Sole program is to encourage physically inactive and/or overweight/obese children seen in the pediatric practice at RoxComp to increase weekly, accumulated physical activity, eat healthier, and engage in healthy lifestyle behaviors. Besides the above goal, the program also seeks to improve interpersonal skills, cognitive function, parental/ guardian relationships and self esteem.
