Open to ALL

There is no single solution for weight management. Today, employers must “think out of the box” to build a comprehensive strategy that encompasses goals, culture and budget to optimize the impact on employee health and wellbeing.

Join the conversation as we explore innovative solutions and available interventions employers are currently using to tackle the complex health issue and costly consequences of overweight/obesity, including behavior and lifestyle modification opportunities, pharmacotherapy and bariatric surgery.
An employer case study will highlight a multi-faceted approach and share their insights on what is working for them.
