General Programs for Weight Management

According to the American Heart Association, nearly 135 million adults are overweight or obese - and an estimated 300,000 die each year of related causes. But being overweight is also a major risk factor for several other health problems, including heart disease, stroke, hypertension, sleep apnea, elevated blood lipids and Type 2 diabetes.

At Catawba Valley Medical Center, we are committed to helping prevent weight issues from becoming medical problems. We offer a comprehensive array of programs to help not only individuals lose weight, but also maintain a healthy weight for a lifetime.

General Programs
Most non-surgical weight loss programs are based on a combination of diet/behavior modification and regular exercise. At Catawba Valley Medical Center, we cover all the bases with our L.E.A.R.N. program and our Fitness Plus Center.
