Froedtert & MCW Workforce Health is proud to introduce a new comprehensive weight-loss management program that is simple for employees to use and easy for your benefits team to manage.
It is no secret that the new injectable Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists (GLP-1) medications for weight loss (common names are Ozempic® and Wegovy®) have become extremely popular. These powerful tools work best when combined with lifestyle changes.
Our new GLP-1 weight loss program does just that. Combining lifestyle changes like diet and exercise with the medication and clinical oversight and support has resulted in 76% of patients achieving a weight loss of 5% and greater.
GLP-1 medications are a high-cost option and must be managed appropriately to ensure patients achieve the desired response. Our program includes the following benefits:
- Monthly appointments (30-60 minutes) for six months with a clinical pharmacist to ensure proper dosing and tolerability of the medications
- Routine appointments (30 minutes) with a registered dietitian or health coach to promote lasting lifestyle changes
- Safe achievement of weight loss and the creation of long-lasting healthy habits to maintain goal weight
- Regular weight checks and review for any adverse effects
- Shared financial responsibility between employer and employee
- Transition to a different weight loss method if unsuccessful
with GLP-1
