The Child Health & Exercise Medicine Program is housed at the Children's Exercise & Nutrition Centre at McMaster University and McMaster Children's Hospital and is part of the Division of Children's Exercise & Nutrition in the Department of Pediatrics. Our program builds on a long tradition established by the late, Dr. Oded Bar-Or.
