Speaking About Wellness for the Family

We Can!, or Ways to Enhance Children's Activity and Nutrition, is a program developed by the National Institutes of Health to help children between the ages of 8 and 13 maintain a healthy weight by increasing physical activity, decreasing TV time and improving food choices.
WellStar's first Speaking about Wellness for the Family- We Can! series was held at the Paulding County Chamber of Commerce and was taught by  Diane Follmer, NP and Nicole Fishman, NP, who are both pediatric providers with WellStar Medical Group. Twenty one families attended this program each Monday in July.
