New GLP-1 Weight Loss Solutions Program Offered

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
