Obesity is a serious health concern that is not unique to adults. In the
United States 22% of young adults are affected, which can cause immediate
and long-term health concerns. Obesity related health risks include high
blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, breathing problems
such as asthma and sleep apnea, and joint problems.
Our Team
Our multidisciplinary medical weight-loss program focuses on the unique
needs of adolescents ages 14 and up. Our goal is to help adolescents safely
reach and maintain a healthy weight while building healthy habits that
promote adequate weight control. Our program is structured to educate
and guide both young adults and their parents toward developing healthy
eating and lifestyle habits. We offer medical, nutritional, educational
and behavioral support through a team of nurse practitioners, dieticians,
and behavioral therapists.
