                      Medical Weight Loss


                      Commonwealth Health Physician Network's medically managed weight loss program offers effective tools that can change what you see in the mirror. Your journey to weight-loss and wellness begins with a complete health history and physical examination and a review of your eating habits, food preferences and lifestyle.

                      The medically managed weight loss program includes a team of weight management specialists who work with a supervising physician to offer ongoing support and knowledge of healthy living.

                      Diet and Nutrition

                      A variety of options will be offered based on your specific dietary needs and preferences. The goal is to help you develop positive habits based on everyday traditional foods.

                      Physical Activity

                      Evidence shows that people who exercise regularly are most successful at losing weight and keeping it off. The team will work with you to develop a specific plan with measurable, achievable goals as you transition to a healthier lifestyle.

                      Behavioral modification

                      Following your initial visit, one-on-one counseling and other tools will help you identify and modify your food and lifestyle choices. Identifying high-risk situations, understanding your triggers and developing coping strategies will help you sustain long term success when managing your weight.

                      Weight-Loss Medication

                      If medication is needed, the obesity medicine physician may prescribe a medication that is right for you.

                      For more information, call (570) 821-1100 to speak with the program coordinator.
