Green Mountain at Fox Run in Vermont Announces the New ROSE CARON SCHOLARSHIP to Aid Women With Weight Loss and Healthy Lifestyle Goals

A limited number of scholarships will be provided each year by Green Mountain at Fox Run, a premier weight loss spa and retreat, to deserving women ready to take charge of their weight, their health, themselves

October 13, 2004 -- The for-women-only health and wellness programs offered by Green Mountain at Fox Run (Vermont) began in the summer of 1972 when founder Thelma Wayler took over an empty dorm at Vermont's Green Mountain College. There she began telling women that diets can make you fat -- almost three decades before the idea became as accepted as it is today.

Today, Green Mountain operates out of a former corporate retreat on a hill overlooking Okemo Mountain, a premier winter and summer resort area in Vermont. Set on 26 wooded acres, the lodge is a comfortable, relaxing retreat.

When you walk in the door to Green Mountain at Fox Run, you enter a proven educational program with a singular focus on healthy weight loss...The goal here is about long-term lifestyle change, not a short-term health spa vacation. Its long-term published success rates are one of the highest in the United States.

Green Mountain at Fox Run, Vermont is pleased to announce it has established the Rose Caron Scholarship to assist women in need of financial assistance who wish to improve the quality of their lives through serious lifestyle change. A limited number of scholarships will be provided each year to deserving women ready to take charge of their weight, their health, themselves.

Established in honor or Dr. Rose Caron, a nationally-renowned psychologist, who with her husband and research partner, Albert Caron, PhD, is credited with the development of the field of psycholinguistics of newborn infants. A graduate of Vassar (BA) and University of Chicago (PhD), Rose was a highly endowed researcher at the National Institutes of Health, Professor, George Washington University and Boston University, in both the departments of Psychology and Women's Health Studies.

Rose attended the first program of Green Mountain in 1973 and became a frequent participant and advisor to the program. As Rose often shared, the Green Mountain philosophy, approach and community of participants had a profound and positive effect on her life.

Rose felt strongly that a key element for the success experienced by the women who come to Green Mountain was that they were willing to make an investment in themselves, which attached a real "value" to the experience.

In celebration of Rose, Green Mountain at Fox Run has announced the first in series of partial scholarships that will be awarded for Fall and Winter periods.
