Obesity is a Complex Medical Condition

We now recognize that obesity is not simply due to lack of willpower or poor food choices and lack of exercise.

Obesity is a complex disease resulting from the interaction of genes, biology and behavior, and affected by social, economic and cultural factors. Research has advanced our knowledge of the many health benefits of weight loss, and of the strategies that work best to help people lose weight. We use our knowledge of these factors to provide state of the art weight management programs offering a variety of effective tools to treat the whole person.

Obesity is Treatable

Obesity is a serious, chronic health problem that can significantly increase your risk of obesity-related diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, sleep apnea, respiratory problems and even cancer.

At ChristianaCare’s Weight Management Center, we can help you achieve permanent weight loss and reduce your risk for obesity-related diseases.
