The CHIP for TEENS Program is offered by the McGill Cardiovascular Health Improvement Program (CHIP). CHIP is a not-for-profit organization affiliated with the McGill University Teaching Hospitals. Established in 1996, CHIP’s mission is to provide the highest standard of care in the prevention and treatment of car- diovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. The CHIP Fundraising Spinathon was inspired to support this new program targeting teenagers suffering from obesity and at risk of premature cardio- vascular disease or diabetes.

 




CHIP for TEENS is designed to address the needs of overweight teenagers through a specific combination of health and lifestyle activities.
Individual health assessments are conducted by our expert team of physicians, dietitians, psychologists and exercise physiologists. Once we determine the individual needs of each teenager, we design a customized summer program. We then monitor each teenager’s progress and equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to lose weight and improve their health. 

The CHIP 4 Teens Group Program   

  • 3 days/week from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM
  • Specialized fitness programs geared for teens
