This quality improvement project standardized screening and treatment of overweight and obese pediatric patients at a community health center and the application of a treatment algorithm.

By standardizing the community health center鈥檚 practice, providers were more confident, and pediatric patients and families were more likely to decrease their weight or body mass index percentile.
