The Dr. Yum Project is proud to be part of a national conversation on how to help families and communities overcome barriers to eating well. Each year our team participates in statewide and national professional conferences to share our work and research with other healthcare providers and educators across the country.
US News and World Report' s Childhood Obesity Challenge - 2020 and Beyond: A National Leadership Summit
US News and World Report' s Childhood Obesity Challenge - 2020 and Beyond: A National Leadership Summit, was originally scheduled for 2020 and postponed to a time we can convene in person. It will be a day of enlightening discussions on the latest research and best practices being employed to address the urgent issue of childhood obesity. This daylong summit, made possible by the support of AdventHealth for Children in Orlando, will be held on its campus and convene stakeholders from around the country – top children’s hospital and health system representatives, leading researchers and medical experts, providers, community partners and more – to share insights about the next steps forward in meeting this persistent national health challenge. You’ll hear about promising new treatments and prevention strategies and the latest approaches targeting different age groups in clinical, school and community settings. And we will look at how revamped policies and physician training can lead the way to better care.
