Pediatrics

CON-RCO is committed to promoting networking amongst health professionals involved in the prevention and management of obesity in Canadian children. Initatives and resources presented here are developed by CON-RCO members with an interest in pediatric obesity management or prevention and facilitated by CON-RCO.  If you have a project or idea you would like to share, please contact our Pediatrics Co-ordinator, Kathryn Ambler at ambler@obesitynetwork.ca

Many of the resources on the network's pediatrics page will be available to non-members  (though we strongly encourage you to join).  In some instances you will need to login for access.
