New Childhood Obesity Program: Health, Weight, and Your Child--Harrisburg Area YMCA

At the Harrisburg Area YMCA we are offering a new childhood obesity program, Health, Weight, and Your Child. The program offers nutrition education and physical activity time while bringing families together. Participating children must be ages 7-13 and be in the 95th BMI percentile. The program is 16 weeks, meeting twice per week for two hours each time. We are looking for school nurses to send referrals for children they believe would benefit from the program. Our secure fax line is 717-232-2127. You may also contact Emily Bumgarner at 717-232-2027 or emily.bumgarner@ymcaharrisburg.org
