Weight Management Program

MetroHealth now offers an evidence based lifestyle change program focused on reducing adult obesity through nutritional education, coordinating access to fresh produce, and increased physical activity. The success of the program is also attributed to participants working closely with a medical provider who works with them to come up with individual obesity centered care plan. Participants also get a free fitness tracker, cooking demonstrations and recipes and so much more.
