Go4Fun for Health Professionals
Families trust health professionals. They are often the first to discuss the importance of a healthy diet and exercise with parents.
We help families take the advice you provide and turn it into healthy habits. All in an environment that’s fun and supportive.
We can provide you:
- free online assessment tools to identify eligible patients and
- free online training designed to help health professionals raise and manage the issues.

- Check eligibility
-
You can’t always tell if a child is above a healthy weight by looking at them. Using height and weight measures to check BMI is the most reliable way. It is important to check your patient's weight on a routine basis. This will help identify those who are eligible to take part in the Go4Fun program. Go4Fun offers an online BMI calculator to know if a child is eligible.
