Providence Weight Management Series
Say goodbye to fad diets and learn how to manage your weight and lower your cholesterol through a health, nutrition and exercise plan. OUR 12-week Providence Weight Managment Series is centered around education and activity. It is designed to help you integrate healthy food and exercise habits into your daily routine. Taught by a registered dietitan and an exercise specialist, our weight management series is designed to optimize each participant's personal goals and motivation level.  Our group classes give participants the tools they need to design a successful weight loss and/or management program for themselves that uses the effectiveness of exercise and dietary modifications to support fat loss.

A referral form from your physician/nurse practitioner/PA is required for participation in the Weight Management Series
