Wellness & Weight Loss: Wellness Group Visits
Family Practice Group has had a great deal of success offering our Wellness Group Visits to our patients for Weight Management and Lifestyle Change. From our great group experiences here at Family Practice Group we have fored a non-profit oranization, WellnessCampaign.org.
Dr. Wayne Altman and Kerri Hawkins (dietitian and certified personal trainer) work with you in a small group setting (10-12 people) to help you create a balanced, healthy lifestyle that is sustainable through support, education, accountability, personalized tools and resources.
We have completed numerous groups and they have lost over 4000 pounds… more than a TON of weight! Our groups have created a network of support to keep the weight off and help maintain their healthy habits. Most people who have completed the group have kept the weight off or continue losing. Our recent results were recently published in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine.
