THRIVE is a free obesity intervention program that inspires children to live healthier lifestyles. It invites school-aged children to join a 4-week session that teaches them how they can form healthier eating habits, therefore enriching their physical and emotional well-being.
As the Deputy Health Officer for the Dorchester County Health Department, Dr. Scott was approached to address the increase in childhood obesity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. She partnered with the owner of the gym that Dr. Scott coaches at and a social worker to create a program where the kids can engage in fun physical activities in order for them to form healthy habits.
