NORWAY — Western Maine Primary Care and Western Maine Pediatrics have been recognized as 2017 Let’s Go! healthcare sites of distinction.
The designation is given to healthcare practices following three evidence-based steps to combat childhood obesity.
the announcement was made by Timothy A. Churchill, president and CEO of Western Maine Health.
The practice teams have achieved recognition by helping to connect the 5-2-1-0 Let’s Go! message throughout their community by hanging a 5-2-1-0 Let’s Go! poster in the waiting room and all exam rooms where pediatric patients are seen; accurately weighing and measuring patients and determining body mass index, BMI percentile, and weight classification for all patients ages two years and older at well-child visits; regularly engaging in respectful conversations with patients about healthy behaviors by using the 5-2-1-0 Healthy Habits questionnaire at well-child visits.
