Susan J. Woolford, MD, MPH, of CHEAR was recently quoted in The Washington Post.\
“We can all, as a society, realize we have a role to play in reducing the stigma around childhood obesity and helping to change many of the factors that lead to excess weight so that we can help this generation of young people grow up with better health,” said Susan Woolford, associate professor of pediatrics, on the American Academy of Pediatrics’ call for early and aggressive treatment of childhood obesity.
