proven program to help you shed pounds and enjoy the life you were made for.
Exceptional patient experience
The team members at Adventist Health are dedicated to ensuring that every
patient in our program has a positive experience that exceeds expectations.
As a participant in our weight management program, you will benefit from:
Personalized weight-loss plans: You are unique, and so is your weight-loss program at Adventist Health.
We start with a comprehensive evaluation of your physical condition and
emotional mindset and then craft a program that nourishes both your body
and your soul with just the services you need.
No hard sell: We do not rush you into weight-loss surgery. We first try to help you
lose weight through a medically supervised program that consists only
of nonsurgical approaches to weight loss.
Multiple weight-loss surgery options: If surgery does become your best option, our skilled bariatric surgeon
offers multiple bariatric procedures.
Close medical supervision for related health conditions: Being overweight means you probably have other medical issues, such as
hypertension, diabetes and more. We closely oversee all your weight-related
medical issues to provide comprehensive management of your health.
Treatment for mind and body: As we handle your physical weight management needs, we also help you find
relief from the stress or depression that may influence your eating decisions.
Count on our compassionate clinicians and support groups to help you manage
the mental side of weight management.
