Caswell Family Medical Center & Piedmont Health Services Help Prevent Diabetes

Diabetes and childhood obesity are two issues that Caswell Family Medical Center and Piedmont Health Services are helping to address.

Many prevention programs are available in Caswell County to teach families how to live healthier lives by eating better and moving more. "Getting Fit with WIC" offers free classes for families with children ages two to five years old. Contact the WIC department at the Prospect Hill Community Health Center at (336) 562-3311 for more information. Funding for this program has been provided by Smart Start through the Caswell County Partnership for Children and Piedmont Health Services (PHS).

UNC hospital and Caswell Family Medical Center are helping kids age three to eight lose weight and learn how to be healthy. Enrollment is open for clinic patients receiving Medicaid.
