The CHAMPION program consists of individual and group visits guided by a set curriculum with a multi-disciplinary team (medical provider, dietitian, and community health worker), and other tools to support behavioral change and reduce body mass index (BMI) and asthma, such as follow-up phone calls, educational materials, social determinants of health screening and referral and text messaging. The Clinical Dietitian will play a crucial role in delivering comprehensive medical nutrition therapy based on evidence-based practices, including screening, assessing, and implementing nutrition care plans for patients, and ensuring adherence to departmental and hospital policies and procedures. The Clinical Dietitian will provide care to children and adolescents with overweight/obesity and asthma, through group and individual visits, both in-person and virtually, and will participate in a Virtual Learning Community and Quality Improvement calls and activities as part of the research project.
