It’s a life-changing program that helps address a chronic medical condition impacting all areas of a patient’s life–obesity. Chris Collins, RD, with the Providence Center for Weight Management, joined us to share how their program helps achieve lasting success and improve quality of life
Providence’s medical weight management program is a comprehensive, team-based approach designed to support patients in achieving sustainable, long-term health. Rather than focusing on quick “weight loss,” the program treats obesity as a chronic condition and pairs patients with a multidisciplinary care team that may include medical providers, registered dietitians and behavioral health specialists
Through this whole-person model, patients receive personalized care that addresses nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress and behavior patterns, in addition to medical treatment options when appropriate. Medications and bariatric surgery may be considered as part of a broader care plan but are just one component of a program centered on lifestyle change and ongoing support
The program typically spans about a year, helping patients build practical skills and habits while continuing to offer guidance and follow-up care beyond initial goals to support lasting health improvements
