  1. PCP Flying High on Corporate Wellness. In 2008, E. Brooks Wilkins, MD, was faced with a hard choice: shutting down a wellness and weight-loss center designed for people who had tens of thousands of dollars to spend on a 30-day intensive treatment program or toughing it out through a devastating recession.
  2. Kids’ Vaccination Schedule Updated. An updated childhood and adolescent immunization schedule was released Monday by the CDC, following recommendations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists, and the American Academy of Family Physicians.
  3. Canada Says Measure Every Patient’s BMI. New Canadian guidelines are calling for stronger surveillance of patients’ weight, and referring them for intervention if they’re overweight or obese.
  4. AAP: Decriminalize Weed, but Don’t Legalize It. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has called for a decriminalization of marijuana, but maintained its objection to legalizing the drug.
