Our goal is for your child to be healthy.

At Hurley Medical Center, we want to help your child get in good physical shape and achieve a healthy weight. Our highly experienced staff within the medical center and at our Hurley Children’s Clinic and OB/GYN Clinic are specially trained to help your child get fit and lose weight. They can also guide you and your child to the many exercise programs at Hurley Health and Fitness Center.

Nutrition Services

Exercise and nutrition counseling go hand in hand. Hurley’s Nutrition Services has twelve full-time registered dietitians on staff to talk with your child about healthy eating and cooking habits and how to achieve weight loss.

Family Weight Loss Program

This is a family weight loss management program for 9-18 year olds which focuses on getting them to move more and eat less. Children attend classes, as well as the person the child lives with or is responsible for them. Some sessions involve physical activity, while other sessions focus on discussions between the children, the adult, and a Hurley pediatric psychologist or dietitian.

Hurley’s Diabetes Education Programs

Being out of shape or overweight often brings about diabetes, a serious disease that is especially common in Genesee County. If your child has diabetes or pre-diabetes, Hurley offers education classes to teach your child how to control this chronic disease. Click here for more information.
