About CLOCC

CLOCC is a nationally recognized childhood obesity prevention program housed within the Center for Obesity Management and Prevention (COMP) at the Children's Memorial Research Center of Children's Memorial Hospital.

CLOCC is a data-driven effort that brings together hundreds of organizations and individuals in Chicago, with a common goal of protecting Chicago children from the effects of the obesity epidemic. Its primary focus is on children aged three to five years, their caretakers, and those who work with their parents and caretakers. CLOCC's work is led by community leaders in the health sector and guided by community-based groups from across the city. The shared work of CLOCC's partners cuts across sectors: medicine, government, corporate, volunteer, academic, advocacy, and others. It involves clinical care, community development, legislation and regulation, community-based programming, cultural affairs, and more.
