Brenner FIT® is a comprehensive program built on four foundational pillars: clinical care, community engagement, professional education, and research.
Our mission is to improve the health of children and families through safe, effective, and kind care.
Our vision is to be the national leader in pediatric obesity care.
Established in 2007, Brenner FIT specializes in supporting families of children with health concerns related to weight—through compassionate, evidence-based care.
As a clinical program, we take a family-centered approach to pediatric obesity. We rely on research-proven methods to help children and families improve their health and well-being. Rather than focusing on restrictive diets or rigid exercise plans, we work with families to build sustainable habits and behaviors—together.
Our multidisciplinary team includes specialists in obesity care, nutrition, family support, behavior change, and physical activity. We meet families where they are and make sure everyone feels welcome, no matter what language they speak or where they come from. For Spanish-speaking families, we offer dedicated services through Brenner FIT En Español.
Brenner FIT is advancing pediatric obesity care by improving how treatment, research, education, and community support are delivered.
