Wellness Works Program Information:
MUSC Children's Health Wellness Works program is a wellness/weight management program and lipid treatment clinic for kids and teens. We work with kids and their families to promote healthy habits through individualized clinic visits, group education sessions, and a fitness program. We have had fantastic success and we currently have over 500 families enrolled from the greater Charleston area! Since we are a non-profit program, we rely heavily on fundraising events that also promote our healthy message through exercise and health promotion.
Thank you so much for your support of these children and their families and for helping us Build Healthy Communities! More information can be found on our website at www.MUSCKids.org/WellnessWorks and our Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/MUSCkidsWellnessWorks.
