Pediatric Obesity Care Designed for Steady Progress
A comprehensive treatment program built around consistency, data, and understanding
Parents often come to RISE after realizing their child’s weight is becoming harder to address with conventional advice alone.
Despite good intentions, common recommendations often don’t lead to lasting change. Appointments are brief, and guidance can feel general. And over time, uncertainty can grow about what actually works and how to help your child find success.
Pediatric obesity is complex. Growth patterns, metabolism, genetics, gut health, environment, and daily routines all play a role. Addressing it requires time, testing, and consistent check-ins with an experienced, passionate provider.
The programs at Rise Pediatrics were created to provide that structure, offering families a clear, supported path forward.
RISE for Life
Pediatric Obesity Treatment Program
RISE for Life is a 6-month foundational program led by April Maloney, NP, designed specifically for children and families who need impactful guidance and a personalized plan to help their child establish a lifestyle of wellness.
This program combines thorough evaluation, advanced testing, regular follow-ups, and ongoing access to care, so you’re never left guessing what’s next or what to do between visits.
Everything is coordinated inside one clear care path, with April walking alongside your family the entire way.
RISE for Life includes:
Initial Consultation (60–90 minutes)
A comprehensive visit that includes:
Full history and growth chart review
Physical exam

A personalized treatment plan designed specifically for your child
