Polk Vision’s 5-2-1-0 program is a
wonderful intervention to address
childhood obesity. During my pediatric
clinical rotation, I gave 5-2-1-0
prescriptions to my patients and their
families. Through these prescriptions, it
opened the door to have conversations
and answer questions about healthy
eating and healthy living. To successfully
reduce the incidence of and prevent
complications from obesity, it will require
efforts not only from the patient, but also
from those involved in their life: families,
healthcare providers, and the community
at large.

ABOVE: Dr. Anchundia, a pediatrician
with Central Florida Health Care Center
in Haines City, assists a patient with
making healthy choices using the
5-2-1-0 prescription.
The 2018-2019 school year was
the first year of implementing the
5-2-1-0 prescription tool into the
ARNP curriculum at Florida Southern
College. The goal is for students to
utilize the tool with pediatric patients
during practicum rotations and
discuss use of the 5-2-1-0 prescription
with their primary care preceptors.
In the fall of 2018, the Team hosted a
forum on “Healthy Choices, Healthy
Kids” for Florida Southern students,
emphasizing the local resources and
programs that are available to fight
childhood obesity and promote healthy
habits. Team Co-Chairs made additional
presentations at the beginning of each
semester with students who would
be using the prescription tool in their
clinical rotations.
In the spring of 2019, the Team was
contacted by a Florida Southern
ARNP student who was completing
a clinical rotation at a local pediatric
office. She had been using the
5-2-1-0 prescription tool in her
rotation and shared the idea with the
other providers at the office, who
expressed interest in participating. The
Team visited the office to introduce
the program to the providers and
distribute the 5-2-1-0 toolkits. This
additional practice has now been
added to the Team’s data collection as
a fourth participating partner.
