Welcome

The Philadelphia GROW Project seeks to help low-income children and their families achieve normal weight gain, good nutrition and proper development through service, research and advocacy. The Project has four interrelated endeavors:
  • CLINICAL SERVICES: The GROW Clinic (for children with Failure to thrive)
  • RESEARCH: Children's HealthWatch multi-city research study
  • ADVOCACY: For local and national policy change
  • PARTICIPATION: To include the voices and images created by mothers who know hunger

The long term goal of the Philadelphia GROW Project is to improve the system of care related to poor nutrition and health for children and their families.
