The Pediatric Diabetes clinic is a California Children’s Services Special Care Center that provides comprehensive care to children and adolescents with diabetes. We offer the latest treatment options and multidisciplinary support services. Our Pediatric Diabetes team is dedicated to helping children and families manage diabetes to achieve healthy lives.
The B.F.F. Program was established in 2013 through a grant from UniHealth Foundation, a non-profit philanthropic organization whose mission is to support and facilitate activities that significantly improve the health and well-being of individuals and communities within its service area. After conclusion of the grant in 2019, the BFF Clinic continues to provide patient care services through Harbor-UCLA hospital support.
The Be Forever Fit clinic participates in the Pediatric Obesity Weight Evaluation Registry (P.O.W.E.R.), a national network of similar programs whose mission it is to better understand and improve health outcomes of children with overweight and obesity.
