Helping People Achieve and Maintain Their Weight Loss Goals

If you resolved to lose weight when the clock struck midnight this New Year, the Program for Weight Management might help you keep that vow.

The program helps participants achieve a healthy lifestyle to benefit them both physically and emotionally. “We understand that each individual has unique needs,” said Kathy McManus, MS, RD, director, Nutrition and Behavior Modification. “Our comprehensive program gives each patient the tools needed to improve his or her health, to lose weight and to maintain their weight loss.”

The program’s staff of registered dietitians, physician assistants, a medical assistant and front desk staff, have helped thousands of patients transition to a healthier lifestyle. “Participants learn from expert nutrition and weight management clinicians, and also benefit from research findings revealing recent advances in care,” said McManus.

A 50 percent discount on the enrollment fee is available for BWH employees now through April 1, 2005. Employees should mention this BWH Nurse story when they register. For more information about the program, visit www.brighamandwomens.org/weightmanagment,
