| Mercy Medical Center, whose Weight-Loss Surgery Program is ranked highest in the Metropolitan Area 2009/2010 by the HealthGrades® national hospital rating company, will be conducting facilitated weight-management support programs this spring for overweight and obese adults and adolescents, and for post bariatric surgery patients.
The weekly ten-session programs will begin on March 17th. They will be conducted by multidisciplinary teams of nutrition, fitness and behavioral health professionals with extensive experience in assisting with the lifelong commitment and lifestyle modifications required for weight management.
They will focus on a broad range of issues including healthy behaviors, stress-reduction, social relationships, exercise, and prevention of relapse into old eating habits. The program for adolescents (ages 12-18) will use the nationally-recognized SHAPEDOWN® curriculum developed at the University of California, San Francisco.
Support group sizes will be limited to assure personal attention.
