This unique, community-based and proven-effective program reacheschildren and families in need of obesity interventions and education. The replication package is a step-bystepguide designed for successful adoption of the program and includes materials needed for training,implementation and evaluation. The program was developed to utilize current hospital staff, therefore thecost of replication is relatively inexpensive at approximately $4,000 (not including staff time).Organizations involved in developing the replication package include California Hospital, GoodSamaritan Hospital, Huntington Hospital and National Health Foundation.

Several hospitals have expressed interest in utilizing the replication package andNHF remains in discussion with these organizations.55
