Lawrence, Massachusetts, residents may receive Reiki through a grant

| Middletown, CT – Over the last 20 years, rates of obesity in children
have risen at a staggering pace. Obese children are developing
ailments that were once unheard of among children (high blood pressure,
cholesterol problems, and diabetes.) The increase of these ailments
among our youngest population has put an additional burden on our
health care system and created new challenges for health care providers.
Nationally, it is estimated that 17 percent of all U.S. children
are obese. The full extent of the childhood obesity issue is harder to
pinpoint on a local level. The best gauge for us at Middlesex Hospital
in Middletown, CT has been our pediatric physicians who actively sought
out a program that would address obesity at an early age in order to
break the cycle of learned unhealthy behaviors.
