The MidAtlantic Cardiovascular Foundation has designed a pilot program to address the issue of childhood obesity. “Steps to Success” is a 12 week after-school program that provides 90 minutes of exercise, dietary education, fitness education, and psychosocial counseling three days a week. The first program was held at Pikesville Middle School. Twenty children were enrolled in the program, which was funded by the Foundation.
