NACHC works with partners around the nation to improve primary care for patients age 0-18, particularly with weight management. Obesity-related conditions cost $190 billion per year ($14 billion for children).
Health center, PCA, and HCCN partners implement intensive evidence-based interventions with the COMMITS program (Childhood Overweight Management Models in Team Settings), NACHC’s learning series and CODI (the Childhood Obesity Data Initiative) using AAP’s National Quality Measures. Best practices can be found here with resources like the “Come to the Table” series.
