Healthy Weight, Healthy You Program

An evidence-based program to help you achieve a healthier weight and a healthier you!

Have you been looking for some help to lose weight and improve your health? Are you tired of dieting on your own and wanting support to adopt a sensible and sustainable eating plan that is evidence-based and medically supervised?  Dr. Steven Fox and his team would love to share with you how a plant-based approach can give you the answers you’re looking for.

Who Is Eligible?

What to Expect?

You will join a group of 15-20 patients with similar goals to:

• Hear short, evidence-based lectures
• Taste catered food samples
• Watch live cooking demonstrations
• Set individual goals
• Receive routine medical care and advice for any other chronic conditions you may have including standard of care testing and medication adjustments.

During class, we encourage you to sign up for one-on-one time with any member of the team. After the class ends, and at no extra cost, we have a dietician, nutritionist, health coach, behaviorist, clinical pharmacist, and/or physician available who want to help you achieve your health goals.

What is the Cost?

• We make every attempt to bill this service under preventative care to avoid having a copay. We have found that about one-third of insurance providers do not recognize this billing strategy yet and our hospital system is working to address this systemic problem. If you receive a bill, please let our team know, but we cannot waive a copay if the insurance charges a copay and does not overturn their initial decision.
