What to call a clinic for obese children?

I'm a regular who has namechanged as I don't want to be identifiable in rl.

I need your views on the name for a clinic that will see young people, initially under 11s as it's a pilot project, who are obese. The children will have been identified in primary care and referred if there is a concern that either their obesity is causing them to have a health problem or a health problem may be causing their obesity iyswim.

I know that it might seem ridiculous to have to give the clinic a name but in order to develop a patient information leaflet about the clinic it has to have a name. The aim is that we will send out a leaflet with the appointments explaining the clinic setup etc and the clinic name would appear as the title of the leaflet and would be used within it.

Obviously we want something that will not be stigmatising!

Thanks for your help.

Yes, obesity is about BMi and percentage body fat rather than just weight.
