      abstract = {The Pediatric Gastroenterology department at Oregon Health  & Science University (OHSU) has a need to address the  current resource allocations given to patients dealing with  pediatric obesity and other comorbidities. Pediatric  metabolic syndrome and obesity management is a growing  concern for children. The consequences of children not  managing this health concern with proper nutrition,  physical activity, and support from family can result in  chronic conditions. This research serves as an exploration  into how the pediatric clinics are currently structured.  The recommendations show how improvements can contribute to  better health outcomes in pediatric obesity patients. The  objective is to align OHSU pediatric obesity serving  clinics within to the institutions commitment
to provide  the highest quality patient and family centered care. By  adding or expanding resources offered to children, this  research aims to enhance children's health outcomes through  improved clinical workflows, referral processes, parent  support programs, and addressing the lack of social  determinants of health primarily through food insecurity.},
