weight management

Millions of Americans struggle to maintain a healthy body weight. In fact, an estimated 64 percent of U.S. adults are either overweight or obese.

Not only are Americans heavier than in years past, but they're struggling with weight earlier in life. About 15 percent of children and adolescents are now overweight. Accordingly, diseases typically associated with adulthood, like Type 2 diabetes and hypertension, are showing up in younger populations.

This area of the Deaconess Web site is dedicated to weight management in an effort to bring physical and emotional healing to people who battle this common problem.
