Families within your community already trust your medical center with their emergency care.  What if you could also impact their long-term wellness and take an active role in preventing childhood obesity and other nutrition-related diseases, while introducing community members to your facility at the same time?

Dr. William Sears, along with exercise physiologist Sean Foy, have created a series of interactive, clinically proven workshops to help families embrace four pillars of health: Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitude, and Nutrition. Dr. Sears’ L.E.A.N. workshops provide simple, easy-to-implement tools for making nutrition education fun and engaging.  This proven approach provides participants with all the tools necessary for sustaining health and wellness.  Unlike traditional wellness or weight-reduction programs, these workshops are developed for families in the “real world,” with the singular goal of making a healthy lifestyle achievable.

Dr. Sears’ L.E.A.N. Workshops Will Help Your Medical Center:

•    Offer effective solutions to your patients, your employees, and the community at large
•    Impact the future by educating parents and caregivers
•    Improve the overall health of your employees, thereby increasing productivity and attendance, and reducing employee health claims
•    Reduce childhood obesity—and its related costs—in your community
•    Offer simple, effective wellness tools to the families you serve
