Parent participants give their unsolicited endorsements:
By making dietary changes and making sure my 13-yr-old is getting at least 3 more solid hours of physical activity each week, CHIP principles has helped her lose 10 pounds since our last visit!!!

Many thanks to Dr. Ehrmann for helping put the epidemic of childhood obesity in the public eye, and for developing a program to help teach our state's youngest citizens to eat healthier and become more active. Our kids are the future of Michigan. It is up to us to give them every chance to grow and thrive so they and our state can reach their full potential.

From the School Community |
"Last Friday, I met with the WSU Med Students and 65 of them signed up to bring RUNDETROIT to our school. All of this was started by Melissa Mashni, whom you put me in touch with because she was inspired by you to share her passion for running with children. None of expected such interest and commitment. They've already got t-shirts with a logo, which they'll be bringing to the school in September and they'll be running with the kids after school on Mondays.
All thanks to you! Your dedication is appreciated everywhere."

To remain competitive, businesses must control costs, and health care continues
to consume a significant amount of capital. Initiatives aimed at changing behaviors, and making the modifications will control such costs, and increase overall productivity. To that end, C.H.I.P. is part of the solution, and we support it wholeheartedly.
