Providing public educational outreach regarding pediatric obesity.

This bill would require the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) to conduct public educational outreach to increase awareness of the health risks associated with pediatric obesity, and would require the department to conduct outreach to pediatricians and family practitioners in neighborhoods disproportionally impacted by pediatric obesity. The bill would also require DOHMH to identify the resources available to those impacted by pediatric obesity, such as the pediatric obesity action kit.
