In collaboration with the Pediatric Department, youth and children ages 3-18 can be referred to the Fitness in the City Program. Fitness in the City (FITC) provides free resources, classes, and case management to support youth in their health and happiness. Examples of these resources include YMCA memberships, cooking classes, sports programs, nutrition coaching, and more. The FITC case manger works one-on-one with families to create a unique plan for each participant, so that every child can have access to becoming their healthiest and happiest, under any circumstance. Contact your provider for a referral to the FITC program.
