Task: When Lucile Packard Children's Hospital wanted to improve the online presence of their child weight management programs, they came to Dobies Healthcare Group for help. The Center for Healthy Weight program at Lucile Packard provides state-of-the-art patient care and cutting-edge research to address the different causes and effects of childhood obesity in California and beyond.
