Read MoreObesity is a chronic medical condition—one that requires support from a medical weight management provider. It isn’t just about a number on the scale; it’s about improving holistic health and quality of life. If you’re looking to address your weight concerns, Inspira has a variety of specialties and treatment options close to home in South Jersey.
Our Approach to Medical Weight Management
At Inspira, we believe in treating the person, not their condition, which is why we offer a variety of options for medical weight management and weight loss services. Whether you’re experiencing weight-related medical conditions, preparing to undergo surgery, or are simply worried about your future health, our providers can help you work toward your goal weight. Our team is made up of primary care physicians, bariatric specialists, physical therapists, dietitians, and support staff—all working together to ensure you achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
Not everyone is a candidate for surgery, but our team can guide you through all of your weight loss options by helping you understand nutrition needs, exercise safely, work through behavior patterns and make lasting lifestyle changes. Inspira’s medical weight management providers can also prescribe a variety of weight loss medications, including injectable GLP-1 medications that can help manage and treat diabetes and obesity. Many insurance companies cover medication costs for those with comorbidities such as diabetes or pre-diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol or obstructive sleep apnea.
